Kog Among 50 Selected Wine Destinations Around the World

Kog, a picturesque part of the Štajerska wine region, has found its place among 50 selected wine destinations from around the world featured in Fifty Places to Drink Wine Before You Die by DC Helmuth. Alongside Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Tuscany, Rioja, Wachau, Tokaj, Mendoza and Napa-Sonoma, Štajerska now also takes its place with its distinctive wine story.

Fifty Places to Drink Wine Before You Die presents 50 selected wine destinations from around the world through recommendations from wine experts, industry insiders and local guides. It takes readers from renowned wine regions to more unexpected wine destinations, presenting them through their wines, people, landscapes and experiences.

Among the selected places is Kog, where a long-standing winemaking tradition blends with a rolling vineyard landscape, local cuisine and warm hospitality. In the book, Kog is presented through the eyes of renowned wine expert Tamlyn Currin, who discovered a distinctive wine story shaped by its people, landscape and authentic sense of place. Kog is therefore presented not simply as a place to taste wine, but as a complete wine experience.

Kog as Part of Štajerska's Wine Story

Kog's inclusion among 50 selected wine destinations worldwide represents important international exposure for Kog and, at the same time, for Štajerska as a wine destination.

Štajerska is characterised by centuries of winemaking tradition, a diverse wine landscape, high-quality wines and, above all, by the people and experiences that allow visitors to connect directly with winegrowers, winemakers and the region itself.
