Top 10 Wine Tours & Tastings in Ljubljana, Upper Carniola Region
Slovenia, wedged between Austria and Italy, has always been proud of its unique heritage. The capital, Ljubljana, is a perfect example of this blend of German, Mediterranean, and Slovenian culture. The old town is a blend of Baroque, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau buildings, watched over by a medieval castle. Cut through the gardens of Tivoli Park to the National Museum of Contemporary History for a history of modern Slovenia, featuring crumbled statues of Stalin and a recreation of a WWI trench.

We recently had the pleasure of joining a Chocolate and premium wines tour of Slovenia as a present for my wife’s 30th birthday. We had the most amazing time. Our guide Mojca was a lovely person. Friendly and knowledgeable she helped make the day extra special. We visited 2 local wine makers and not only were the wines absolutely delicious, the winemakers themselves were full of personality and their knowledge of wine is incredible. Being a private tour was great as it allowed us to get that personal touch that you can only have on a private tour. Oh I forgot to mention the homemade chocolates and gorgeous meats and cheeses we had as well. Is a day that we will never forget. Thank you so much Mojca, we hope to see you one day again soon. Kind regards, Macca and Katie

I spent the day travelling around with my guide Michelle, and she made the whole experience something I will never forget. She took me to see many different sites from Lake Bohinj to Waterfall Savica to Lake Bled. However the main stops on the way were not all there was to see, it was as much about the journey as it was the destinations. Slovenia has some incredible sites to behold and the scenary all throughout the day left me blown away. Driving through the deepest vallies and up the tallest mountains, it was a real adventure the whole way. Due to the time of year and current events, we basically had every spot to ourselves without the hussle and bussle of noisy tourist spots and the benefit of this was how peaceful everything was. Michelle is an incredibly friendly and kind person, full of knowledge and experience of Slovenia that she shares with you in an enthusastic and engaging way, she is perfect company for the trip. This is an amazing day out which I highly reccomend to anyone visiting Slovenia. I will absolutely be coming back to stay at Lake Bohinj next year for a relaxing camping holiday. Thank you Michelle for touring me around Slovenia during my stay here. It has been one of the best ( or even, the best ) experience I have had travelling over the past few years.

Our group (7) thoroughly enjoyed our private well organized first time tour of Slovenia. Too many nice things to say about our guide. She provided a wealth of knowledge about the country, the wines, history and culture. Visiting with some of her personal friends running family vineyards was truly very special. All the advanced planning allowed us to stay at some particularly picturesque and hospitable small lodges and family run places. Float trip inside the caves, hikes in the mountains, nature walks, power assisted biking up and down a mountain, all helped to compliment our frequent stops at special wineries and restaurants. The country was the cleanest we saw and the people the friendliest in our 7 country European vacation. We highly recommend our guide and her coordinated planning of our tour. We will always have wonderful memories of this visit and the friends we made.

This is an exclusive, one of a kind wine tour just for you and your family/friend. There must be a minimum of two people for the tour. We cannot afford to take a single person on the tour because of the costs associated with driving you to Maribor and back, paying the wine makers for the wines etc. Sitting in vineyards, visiting cellars, sipping wine and enjoying nature is what you can expect from this tour.

We will pick you up at your hotel, airbnb, or a camping ground. We will then drive to Maribor about hour and a half visit the the wine region of Maribor. This is one of a kind experience where, you get to see true wine cellars. We promise you will have a true wine experience and truly be a part of the experience of wine. We will drink about 6 or more wines. Afterwards we will drive you back to where we picked you up.

We were 6 friends on our trip to Slovenia, only one weekend and wanted to sea as much as possible during this time, so we asked the City Concierge to make us some suggestions what to do and see, to make the most out of our short stay. They suggested us to join this tour the first day, and the second day we went all together to the Slovenian seaside. We had so much fun, at the end we visited Lake Bled, Postojna cave, Predjama castle, Piran, had a coffe in Trieste, Italy then joined Istrian olive oil tasting, tried some local goodies, went for Truffule hunting and tased some really great and amazing local wines. For us this was just amazing 2 days in Slovenia, the guys from the agency made us feel so welcome everywhere we went. They really did their best to make these 2 days unforgatable for us and we were so happy that we chose them to host us during our stay… We are already planning our Balkan tour together in Spring..can't wait..

You may not be able to name any Slovenian dishes before this 4-hour walking tour, but by the end, you’ll be well informed and full. This isn’t, however, just a food tour. Sample up to nine traditional dishes, washed down with up to four Slovenian wines, while your guide regales your group with Slovenian history and points out masterful architectural creations along the way. With your tummy full and armed with knowledge of local traditions, cuisine and history, you will definitely know where to go next and where to eat next. “Dober tek!”
