Ljubljana's traditional St Martin's Day outdoor wine tasting in November has become so popular in recent years that the organisers had to add an additional summer tasting to the annual calendar.

The June event will follow the form of its November incarnation, only with warmer weather and later hours, as dozens of Slovene producers set up stalls throughout the old town, offering generously poured glasses of their carefully crafted beverages for around €1 each (although for special vintages, reserve selections, etc. the price can be higher). Local farmers also get in on the action, offering homemade cheeses, meats, honey and other treats to hungrier than usual passersby.

The only danger in attending such a glorious event, is that you're almost guaranteed to end up stumbling home with 8-10 bottles of wine when it's all said and done - or at least you are if you're anything like us. One other word of advice: bring your own glass if you don't want to risk losing a €10 deposit on a rental one.
