Wine on the River Drava

The music and painting schedule has been hectic and today I ran out of puff. So I took a break and wandered down to the Vinotek on the River Drava.

Maribor is in the middle of a wine growing area and the Vinotek is a place where you can try local wines (delicious!)  I wondered about mosquitos as dusk fell but although the river looks placid it is quite fast flowing. I sat contemplating the sun setting over the bridge that unites the two halves of Maribor. It was very therapeutic and I couldn't resist getting out my paint box.

Wine on the River Drava

Maribor is in the center of a wine district. The hills behind the town are planted with grapes and wine is served in many eateries for a Euro a glass. This wine bar on the river must be one of the nicest places to drink a glass.
