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.

I can highly recommend this activity to people interested in a genuine experience. You will be in love with Slovenia, culture, and wines. Landscapes are just incredible. You will see the beauty of Slovenia and it will be paired with great wines and other local products.

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!

The wine tour was amazing. We stopped at 2 wineries both of which were lovely. Our tour guide was not only a great conversationalist but was also very knowledgeable about the area and Slovenia history. The winery hosts were exceptional - and the wines were fantastic. We bought wines at each location and loved all the wines we tasted. The food provided was delicious as well. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about wines from this area.

We had an amazing private wine tour with Tina! Tina was extremely knowledgeable about the wines and country, and she did a great job planning out the day. We got to visit 2 wineries with a small lunch in between. The wine tastings were incredible - we got taste many wines, learn the history and culture of Slovenian wine, and eat some awesome local charcuterie all in a private tasting with the wine maker. I cannot rate this tour high enough!

I had a wonderful tour with Tina; she was an excellent guide! I enjoyed traveling with her along the beautiful wine country roads of Slovenia. We indulged in incredible wines, homemade charcuterie, gorgeous vistas, and visiting one on one with the winemakers..... it's all there in this fantastic private tour; it was indeed a blast!! Don't miss this tour and ask for Tina.

This tour exceeded expectations in every way. I would recommend this to everyone. I know I probably sound like a fake review but seriously this was amazing. Boris was a great guide, the wines were fantastic, the heavy snacks at each vineyard were delicious. 11 out of 10, would go again.

Boris was a verry good guide with a wide knowledge of Slovenian wines. We were Lucky to visit the vineyards during harvesting period in the beginning of september. We even got to try fresh grape juice straight from the press. We had a large variety of wines, including the popular Slovenian orange wines. Both wine families greeted us with locally produced snacks and home grown vegetables. This was a great experience, highly recommended.

My nana was ever since I can remember a wine fan and we went on a little trip together to Slovenia, so of course I had to scout out some wine experiences. Read some nice reviews and said, why not? It's not even important that I enjoyed it thoroughly, but my nana was so beyond happy and just couldn't get enough of chatting with the winemakers and walking all around the vineyards and trying the wines. It truly is a special memory for both of us and am forever grateful for this experience and to Boris, for taking such good care of all of us!

The organization of the wine tour was perfect. The guide went with us to the wine region Vipava and there we visited wineries and learned a lot about wines during the wine tasting. Our guide Boris was a spectacular sommelier. He was the best! He actually poured his soul into our wine glasses. One of the best days in Slovenia ever!

It was so nice to go out from the city bustle and to enjoy wine in beautiful Vipava valley. It was a treat to talk to the winemakers and meet the whole family. Boris was making sure we had a great tiem and that we had all we needed. Such good wine! Still amazed by it and my suitcase was a little bit heavier on my way back home ;) thank you again!

It’s always good to take a local guided trips and activities when abroad. This time in Slovenia we went for the wine tour and I must say we were very happy we decided to do it. Our guide was literally a wine enciclopedia and very funny. Wine cellars were stunning and wine delicious. We recommend this agency to all wine and nature lovers.

We did a wine tasting and sommelier told us about this wine tour, and we said why not. Super happy that we did it! It was an amazing day, we have learned so much about the winemakers and their wines. It was a relaxed day and it was more than needed after a couple of in Ljubljana. Would definitely recommend it. Especially if you are a fan of excellent wines.

I had to see for myself what was with all that "Slovenia really has great wine" talk. Have decided to go on this tour, was skeptical at the beginning, but Boris was just an amazing guide/sommelier, explained everything so well, you can definitely tell that his passion are wines. And his passion is contagious, by the time we got to the first winemaker, I was already more than eager to try the first wine. The whole day was just a great mix of wine, food and conversations about wine and everything else;) Thank you so much Boris!

If you want to experience a day out in the Slovenian country side sampling wines and talking to the winemakers, this is for you! We had a blast sitting on a porch drinking amazing wines and sampling local food. Having been to other wine tastings around the world, this was so much more personal and relaxed. Would definitely go again!

If you want to get into the Slovenian countryside, sample the local food and wine and meet the local producers, then I would highly recommend this tour.
Boris showcased Slovenian wine with great passion and knowledge. We visited very small family operations where we were treated to generous tastings of wine and food in beautiful surroundings.
The highlight was visiting a restaurant in a very small town dating back to the 1100's.
