VTC 20: The Lendava wine route
At the edge of the plain around the town of Lendava there stretches a range of low hills
with numerous, well-tended vineyards. The wines from here have only recently begun to
appear on the Slovene market. The wine cellar in Lendava Castle has become more active

establish themselves, but there is no doubt that these vineyards produce excellent dry wines.
