After living in Hungary for a few years, we visited every neighboring country, apart from Slovenia! We are happy that has changed now because we truly enjoyed our time there! 😊 Most people seem to only visit the capita Ljubljana, but we really feel that Maribor shouldn't be missed. The city was beautiful and the food was delicious. Since we couldn't find many Slovenian restaurants in Maribor, let us know in the comments which traditional dishes we need to eat in the future. In our next video, we'll be in another Slovenian town (a very cute one), so stay tuned! Thanks for watching🙂 - Brandon & Anja

Still, I would also recommend visiting Ljubljana, it is more lively but still pleasant. If you want to have great local wine experience, I would definitely recommend dolenjska region. A jump to quaint little towns on the coast is also highly recommended ❤

@@Nine49_49 We really wanted to visit Ljubljana, but we were under a bit of a time constraint this time around. It looks super nice there! We will go some day, for sure.

"Potica" (rolled dough Slovenian cake), "Kranjska klobasa" (Carniolan sausage) and "Prekmurska gibanica" (Prekmurian layer cake) are the 3 dishes that you deffinitely shuldn't miss next time you're visiting. Potica is almost the most traditional, you can get it with plenty of fillings, but we eat the most of Potica with wallnutt filling. Meanwhile Kranjska klobasa and Prekmurska gibanica are also under protected geographical indication, which means that they have to be produced according to the rules (there sholdn't be any variations in recepies). I'm glad you enjoyed in Maribor, and it's also good for us to look at a video like this, to see how tourists are seeing our city and all the things we're used to, but definitely shouldn't be! Thank you both for remembering me in what a beautiful place I live.

We actually have another video coming up next, in Ptuj, where we try Potica! We were also looking for a place to try Prekmurska gibanica, but we didn't find it. 😅 We loved both Maribor and Ptuj. There were almost no good videos showing these cities when we were trying to research and get the vibe of them, so we were very pleasantly surprised when we visit and saw for ourselves. Super beautiful! Thanks for watching. Stay tuned for the next Slovenia video!

Orange wine also known or amber wine, is a type of wine made from white grapes where the grape skins are not removed, as in typical white wine production, and stay in contact with the juice for days or even months.This contrasts with conventional white wine production, which involves crushing the grapes and quickly moving the juice off the skins into the vessel. The skins contain color pigment, and tannins that would normally be considered undesirable for white wines, while for red wines skin contact and maceration is a vital part of the winemaking process that gives red wine its color, flavor, and texture.

@goodiezgrigis

It's called maceration, and it's done for a few days before pressing the crushed grapes so the skins release the colour into non fermented juice.

There are many domestic inns in Slovenia, which in the Slovenian language are written as "krčema", "gostišče", but most of them have the title "gostilna", which of course means an inn, for example, "gostilna pr'šestic" and almost everywhere you will find very, very tasty food. You won't go wrong if you go to local environments that are not exposed to tourism, but are located in some village, hills and the like. If you have the chance to find au gratin pancakes with cheese, grape slices and vanilla cream, baked in a bread oven, I advise you to try them. Enjoy the beauty of Slovenia.

Dough for žlikrofi is actually made with potatoes so it’s less pasta and more like gnocchi, that’s why it reminded you of pierogi.

17:30 Greatings from Serbia, small mountian vilage in central Serbia. Slovenia is mutch more like Austria then Serbia. They are just our cousins, Slavs, but mentality is completely different. Serbs is more like a Balcans, like mediteranian people. Slovenian are more like Germans. About food. Lot of Serbs, Bosniaks, Croats living in Slovenia, this is one of reaosons of lot of restaurants with serbian, Balcan food. Architecture is very simmilar to northern Serbia but buildings are in better shape and cities and towns are cleaner. Ok, Serbia isnt dirty but Slovenia is proclamed as the most cleanest country in Europe couple years at row + Slovenia is proclamed as a ecological state, whatever it means.

@@wherearewe-yt Yep, it is resonable, Slovenia is geographicaly closest or closer? to Austria. In my opinion, modern Germany is something different, Germany isnt the same as Austria, Germany is mutch more like some mix of Austria, America and midle East. Im speaking about biger cities. About Slovenia. I can feel that Balcan vibe in Slovenia, trough architecture, how houses and other infrastructure looks, trough language... But everything is mucth cleaner, in better shape, with more taste(my subjective sensibility) for nice. Also, as i sayed. Almost 150 000 Balcans(Balcan people) works and lives in Slovenia, mostly Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats. Croats are some mix between Slovenians and Balcanians, lets call us like that, it is almost 10% of population in Slovenia. I can feel that influence on almost every step in biger cities in Slovenia. The most works in Ljubljana but signif. number in Maribor or even Nova Gorica also, slovenian adriatic caoast. In latest times, that process of Balcan people going to Slovenia was almost stoped but number of Balcans are huge alredy, huge for slovenians measurements.

Bit more like Austrians than Germans but they and the southern Germans are a lot more laid back than the typical German stereotype. Serbs find Slovenes to be fairly Germanic (normally saying ‘ja’ for ‘yes’ rather than ‘da’ helps with that impression). But I think Germans find Slovenes to be fairly Slavic. Maybe Slovenes are just Slovenes. Btw, the yoghurt in the soup was sour cream not yoghurt.
