WINE STORIES 2020

The stories of our wines combine tremendous courage, expertise and passion.

About Wine stories

Wine stories are the stories of talent and passion that connect and carry the voice of the quality of Slovenia throughout Europe. Every year, the JRE-Slovenija Association, 19 representatives of fine cuisine, together with Nova KBM, other partners and professional support, weave the story of first-class winemakers and select 6 top wines, which we equip in an exclusive package.

Great wine, the best partnership

Wine Stories is a premium partnership project between Nova KBM and JRE-Slovenia. It is not a competition but a simple storytelling project with a great social responsibility impact. It is a story that we are developing with respect for the mission of wine creators in cooperation with wine expert Robert Gorjak from the Belvin Wine School, and project experts - sommeliers of JRE-Slovenia

Six united in the One

The selection of wines follows the goal of the most comprehensive presentation of Slovenian wine-growing regions and educating of the general public. We attach a great importance to the promotion of all key building blocks of gastronomy and Slovenia as an exceptional wine-growing and culinary region.

People are searching for good stories. We do not need the average ones.
