The consortium was established in 2004 and unites 12 major producers of Cviček PTP in the Dolenjska region, which provides Cviček with uniform quality and controlled geographical origin. In addition to wine, they serve a local specialty called “cop na lop” (salty cake made of overheated cream). The tasting lasts about an hour and is carried out by prior appointment.
