Getting to know wine
the Lendava museum and gallery in the castle. Lendava events and culinary specialities are
quite out of the ordinary as they are a mixture of Hungarian and Slavic influences – this
area was for a thousand years, until the end of World War One, under Hungarian rule.
I very much hope that the VTC project helps to save Slovene viticulture, i.e. the winemakers
and vineyards, thus keeping the slopes planted with grapevines cultivated and inhabited.
In this way, the beauty of the landscape and the cultural heritage will be preserved, as
otherwise the area would be overgrown by the brushwood of eternal memories.
A decaying piece of cultural heritage – the vineyard cottage that The renovated Hojnik vineyard cottage
belonged to the writer Miško Kranjec, Lendavske gorice, 2006. dating back to 1895, Lendavske gorice,

It would not be right to forget wine
must – fresh grape juice before
fermentation. It has many components
that have a beneficial effect on the
human organism. We can consume
it fresh after a grape harvest or
pasteurised throughout the year. Must
is recommended for children, those
with health problems, nursing mothers
and those abstaining from alcohol.
There are special sanatoriums around
the world where convalescents are
helped with courses of must. It has
helped me when my organism was
weakened and with diarrhoea, says
