Grajska žametovka on Ljubljana Castle.

Queen Elizabeth II of England and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, visited Ljubljana and the Ljubljana Castle on 22 October 2008. The Mayor of the Municipality of Ljubljana presented them with a commemorative certificate from the Municipality of Ljubljana, the Ljubljana Castle and The Honourable Wine Convent of St Urban Ljubljana; he also presented them with a small bottle of Grajska žametovka wine made from grapes that grew on the Castle Vine. It is no surprise that the vine is one of the most frequently visited and photographed motifs among tourists and other visitors to the Ljubljana Castle. (photographed by Miha Fras)
