WINE STORIES 2022

About Wine stories

Wine Stories is a premium partnership project between Nova KBM and JRE-Slovenia. The aim of the project is to create stories of talent and passion that connect and spread the word about the quality of Slovenian wines across Europe. Wine Stories 2022 was written together with the Frešer, Guerilla, Puklavec Family Wines, Vina Herga, Istenič and Vina Kozinc wineries.

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, 22 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 winegrowing 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.
