Wonderful times. All year round.
SUMMER
Golden hues of ripening spill across the greenery. The air is heavy with the scent of apricots, peaches and ripe grasses. If valley days appear too hot, the Nanos, Gora and Trnovo Plateaus offer plenty refreshment, alongside the crystal rivers and springs. Tastings in superb wine cellars make for joyous evenings in good company. Whether hiking, biking, exploring or simply enjoying nature, the perfect summer day lies at your feet ...
Wonderful times. All year round.
AUTUMN
The season of plenty starts in the vineyards and ends in the cellar. Between grape harvest and St. Martin's day, the land bristles with magic as gifts of the vine turn into wine. When the khaki, the season's last fruit, finally turns bright yellow, the trees have already shed their garments yet cold weather is still at bay. A marvellous setting for trips and countryside roaming, resting at a laden table of one of the many hospitable farms ...
Wonderful times. All year round.
WINTER
The first snowdrops show up soon after Christmas, when other places are still covered in white. Winter in the Vipava Valley is gentle, likely to turn out splendidly sunny.

Wonderful times. All year round.

Windy days are the clearest you'll ever see, a paradise for adventurers and all those who enjoy basking in the sun ...

Unique grape varieties
PINELA
Pinela is an old variety, today found exclusively in the Vipava Valley. The sensitive vine requires a suitable site and a tender keeper, finding both in these parts. The pleasantly drinkable white wine it gives has a special character of its own. With freshness, rounded sensations on the palate and a delicate nose, its charms are simply evident ...
