The Story of Trenčianska borovička
Natália Ambrosová
Allow us to invite you to a meeting with the pine, which originated in Trenčín, the city where this legendary drink has been produced for more than a hundred years.
We will disclose and explain to you that, - there would be no pine tree if there were no junipers. There wouldn't be a pine tree if it wasn't for Ján Ámos Comenský. There would be no pine tree if there were no pine trees. Borovicka would probably be without Trenčín, but certainly different.
We believe that the story connected with the tasting of Trenčín pine wines under the auspices of the Cognac Embassy is a guarantee of an experience that will be remembered.
