Vipava Valley & Wine Tasting Tour

Tour Description

Serenity is the first thing that pops up to the visitor’s mind when entering the Vipava Valley. Green all year long, the valley lays protected by the steep mountains on one side and the gentle hilly landscape on the other. Small villages typical of the region are clustered around striking belfries, while towns are rare and do not disturb the marvelous sceneries of the countryside. On this full day wine tour you’ll visit two wineries across the beautiful Vipava Valley. Along the way, you’ll also have the chance to pass through traditional villages and stop at Vipavski Kriz. Your Vipava Valley experience consists of: - Departure from Ljubljana - apartment pickup - Otlisko Okno - The Otlica Natural Window (weather permitting) looming on the steep slopes over Ajdovscina, on the edge of the Trnovo Forest, close to the village of Otlica, ancient forces of nature created a large orifice in the rock – a captivating natural window boasting a scenic view of the Vipava Valley.
