SLOVENIA-CROATIA
Meet us in Venice!​
​The greatest winemaking nation may not be the usual suspects we always think of — it could be a place you’ve never even considered before -- Like Slovenia. And Croatia! Let's Go!
​
​The wine tradition began 2,400 years ago with the Celts, who cultivated vines in the regions of Slovenia and Croatia. With the advent of phylloxera, almost all vines were destroyed. Only when independence was obtained in 1991 did a rapid and positive development of viticulture begin again. 
​
Due to the distinctive soils, climate, and cellaring methods, each wine-growing region has a unique selection of varieties. Vineyards are located in the very heart of the European wine-growing zone. The vine belt of ideal locations includes areas such as Burgundy in France, while the intertwining of climate and soil influences enables this area to diversify its wine offerings.

​
Wine tourism is represented by small, family-owned boutique wineries here. We'll experience charming countryside landscapes, stunning natural and cultural heritage and local mouthwatering cuisine.

​Toast to diversity!
​
Wine is serious business in this region of the world. The winemakers are passionate and genuine about their craft and love to convey their passion to all who visit.  

​
"Pub crawl" type experiences are not offered here as winemakers feel this takes away from the true aspect of what they work so hard to achieve. This is our opportunity to encounter wine culture at its finest.​  Several regions we'll visit rank among the world’s very best.

Whether you enjoy white or red, lush aromatic, strong, full or light, dry or sweet – whatever wine suits you, you will discover new favorites here!

​ We'll venture into  "Slovenian Tuscany" to explore the best Slovenia wine based on recommendations from professionals and taste the vino that represents both Slovenia's and Croatia's best award-winning wines!
