This whole experience was absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend the cheese pairing enough. The wines were fantastic and removing the sense of sight really enhances all the flavors. Very knowledgeable guide. Hilarious pre recorded walkthrough information so sommelier can focus on serving. Just a very very cool experience.
Really enjoyable evening. Well presented, lovely wine and learned a thing or two
A fantastic experience. Delicious wines and a great atmosphere
Do this! This was a super fun senses challenging event! The audio-guide is hysterical and I actually learned a whole bunch about wine!!!
This is a strange experience and does challenge your senses . This is only a tasting so could be taken as a bit expensive for the amount you get (4 glasses) but there is a novelty factor . I say give it ago we guessed all the wine wrong
A somewhat bizarre experience. Some lovely wines to taste, pleasant staff, but the event was a bit stilted and lacking in atmosphere with only us and another couple (who were really lovely!) at the one table in the cellar. We booked one of the earlier sessions (late afternoon) so there may have been more life about it later in the evening. I feel it was quite expensive to book through Tripadvisor for what it was, and found out that there is a 'free' wine tasting included with the Bratislava card but can't comment on what it is like. Glad we did this for the experience and it was lovely to meet the other people at our table.
the quality of the wines is indisputable but the experience itself, no. it's a good idea, but someone is missed explaining, interacting, and slowing down. no, a quick and audible.
Although I think I know a lot about wine of Slovakia, this place was a really positive discovery and a lesson too. We did not have time to enjoy the organized tasting in the dark, nevertheless we liked very much the basic menu at the bar. We have asked not to be offered the most popular and well known samples so we were surprised in the best way. The very first sample was a happy blend of Risling and Silvaner, the second sample was red and it was Hron. Not many people are familiar with this wine, while Dunaj is more popular and frequent. The third sample was a surprise and my first impression was - it must have been a fortified wine. It was not, it was a lovely cherry wine and we admired its quality. Next time we plan to take part in the dark tasting. Looking forward to having fun in future.
Absolutely perfect! A great thing, perfectly trained staff and great wines! The service was very generous and accommodating.
Boris was a fantastic host. So knowledgeable! I am a newbie to the wine scene and learned so many interesting and valuable things thanks to his patience and insight. Come try this out and prepare to be pleasantly surprised by your senses!
