Rock'n'Roll of flavours

Culinary excesses of Maribor

What songs would the top wines of Styria sing if they were bottled rock stars? And what does Maribor's rock fan top chef listen to? Experience the heady combination of flavours and music on a real rock'n'roll tour. Maribor, which was already the rebel capital of rock in the 1960s, is sure to be rediscovered in a new light. On plates, in glasses and in the heart, where the good old rock music hits.

Discover the rocker soul of Maribor cuisine

Rock´n´roll of flavours are orchestrated by Maribor chefs and musicians. Through fine wines and flavours, you will discover music from the days when Maribor was the capital of Slovenian rock'n'roll.  With sparkling wine from the oldest vine in the world, we will play a rock song that every Slovenian knows for an aperitif. Maribor's first barista will serve you afrobeat, while the interactive digital table at Maribor Castle will serve you pheasant pie that even glam rockers wouldn't resist. In the pleasure wine bar, where 70 varieties of top local wines are hidden, meet a boutique winemaker who hears a new rock album in every vintage of his wine. Before the grand finale, a visit to the creative hub of alternative art and we're ready for the most rock-like experience yet. The independent and wild master of cuisine will take you through a spicy performance in a kitchen set in the 21st century.
