Boutique Wine Tour Holiday to Vipava Valley & Goriška Brda

Day 1 - Vipava Valley

You will drive to Vipava valley and walk around the town of Vipava and its beautiful center. The first day already includes two wine tastings at local wineries before you spend the night in Vipava.

Day 2 - Drive to Goriška Brda

After breakfast, you will visit Sabotin, a scenic viewpoint overlooking Nova Gorica. Before the first wine tasting, you will stop at Gonjače and you will be free to explore the Šmartno settlement before we head for the second tasting which includes dinner.

Day 3 - Exploring Goriška Brda

Grapevines are not the only thing growing in these regions, so you will begin your day with olive oil tasting. After that, you will have some free time to explore the surroundings before a wine tasting at a boutique winery and dinner (coupled with wine, of course).

Day 4 - Drive to Slovenian Istria

After a brief drive, you will visit Sečovlje and its salt pans. The rest of the day will include a lunch at one of the seaside towns (Piran or Koper) and a wine tasting on the Slovenian coast. This is also where you will spend your last night.

Day 5 - Istria and return to Ljubljana

Starting the day with breakfast, you can then opt for a visit to the Fonda Fish Farm or just enjoy the remainder of the day at the seaside during your free time before we return to Ljubljana.

If a wine tour is taking it up a notch from a wine tasting, then a wine holiday is a whole another level altogether — multiple days of pure oenophilic bliss, tasting the finest Slovenian sorts at several boutique local wineries.

Traveling across Slovenia’s scenic wine-growing regions of the Vipava valley and Goriška Brda, you will feast your eyes on the rolling green hills and meadows bathing in the sun — perfect conditions for vineyards.

There is nothing strange about this land being called the Tuscany of Slovenia.

Local wine experts will introduce you to the region’s indigenous wines, such as Pinela and Zelen, served with complementary dishes to enhance their aroma. As much as this will be a trip across the country, it will also be a culinary adventure of different tastes that will lift you beyond.

The holidays include all transfers and accommodations at boutique hotels or wineries, and we customize them to suit your wishes and preferences. Your taste buds are the only ones who will be doing the hard work while your mind wanders away from everyday struggles.

The wine will not drink itself — join us for wine holidays in Slovenia and immerse yourself in a world of luscious hedonism.

We toured 2 small, family owned wineries. We loved the tour, meet the owners and wine makers. Boris was our host and did a great job for us. Richard and Linda Parry U.S.A.

Our tour was with Tina who collected us from our hotel by car and drove us to two excellent family wineries that have been running for generations. Each was very different but equally warm in their welcome as they shared platters of produce (some of the best tomatoes, cheese and prosciutto) and let us taste the wines while explaining their ethos and process. A couple of the grape varieties are only found in Slovenia and the quality of the wines are outstanding. With prices low, we bought a few bottles to drink at our hotel as well as take home. A fabulously relaxed way to try local wines and enjoy the countryside. I highly recommend this for any wine lovers.

A fantastic way to experience Slovenian wines in Vipava Valley! Tina, our guide, is a sommelier and an expert in local vineyards and varietals. She makes wine approachable for all levels of wine lovers, and she does all the driving so you can taste! Being welcomed at small, family wineries that have been producing wine for generations was a highlight of the day, especially when you realize 95% of Slovenian wines don't leave the country. As you sample wine, you'll also have charcuterie produced in the area. It was an amazing experience!

We went on a tour with some friends and some Slovenians as well. It was interesting that the Slovenians had never been to that particular place....and they didn't regret it! The wines were surprisingly good (to be honest, I had never had a Slovenian wine...) and the food served was awesome!!! All in all the trip was definitely worth it and I would recommend any wine lover to go for it. Thanks a lot to Boris, our very fun and interesting sommelier and all his colleagues and friends who made this day really really fun! Hvala lepa! Daniel, Giulia, Miguel and Natalia :)
