Slovenia, formerly part of Yugoslavia, is a small, scenic country between Austria and Croatia, touching the northeast corner of Italy. Our bustling food & wine tour takes us through northwestern Slovenia, cycling near the pristine rivers and on shady roads that wind between the rugged peaks of the Julian Alps. A feature of the trip will be two nights spent in the former Presidential Summer Villa, overlooking lovely Lake Bled in whose waters we can see reflections of castles and snow-covered mountains. We’ll raft a short section of the turquoise Soca River as it heads toward the Adriatic Sea. Then we’ll bicycle in and out of Italy, along roads that serve the tiny farms and villages on each side of the border. Our group will pause to appreciate Slovenia’s unique red wines, delicious artisan cheeses, and flavorful local produce. Join us for this truly remarkable week in a hidden corner of Europe.

Biking through the spectacular Julian Alps and the rolling hills of Brda’s wine region was spectacular. The biggest surprise was the Incredible range of meals created by chefs who clearly love the challenge of pairing local ingredients with fantastic wines. Our dinners were all memorable events.
I loved everything about this trip. The accommodations and food far exceeded my expectations. The scenery was incredible. Biking, water rafting, and wine tasting were all well organized. The tour directors were very customer-service oriented. I knew nothing about Slovenia before my trip;I am telling everyone to put it on their bucket lists!
Historically significant, culturally rich, gastronomically wonderful with breathtaking scenery!
This was an awesome food and wine tour of Slovenia with beautiful, leisurely rides through an uncrowned and undiscovered charming and welcoming country.
