About This Tour

This Ljubljana small group food walking tour takes you through the Old Town on foot, with regular stops to taste Slovenian food, wine and beer. It suits first-time visitors who want to learn what locals eat and drink, and anyone who prefers a small group to a big one.

The Route

The walk covers about 2-3 km, broken up by food and drink tastings along the way. The exact order depends on the start time, but the route passes these places:

  • Mestni trg – the Town Square with the Town Hall, a quick stop to get your bearings.
  • Ljubljana Old Town – the narrow streets below the castle hill, where the guide mixes city history with the food stops.
  • Stari trg – the Old Square, a long cobbled street lined with old houses, small shops and places to eat.

Between stops, the guide talks about Slovenian wine regions, local dishes and how the food connects to the country’s history and geography.

What Past Travelers Say

Past travelers mention the guides most often: they know a lot about Slovenian food, wine and history, and they’re easy to ask questions. Many also say the portions are generous, and several did the tour on their first day and found it a good introduction to the city and to what they ate for the rest of the trip.

Delicious Gluten free options

Meta was our tour guide and took us to several restaurants in the area. All of the selections were delicious. She had gluten free options for every stop which was appreciated. She gave us a great education about the local wines and we tasted quite a variety. Highly recommend

Great introduction to Slovenia

We did this tour our first day in Ljublijana, and it was a fantastic introduction to the Old Town neighborhood and the food and drink we would enjoy the rest of our trip. We were very well fed in terms of both abundance and variety. The regional foods and wines were well explained. Our guide, Karmen, was knowledgable, engaging, and fun. Our group felt like a roving, lively dinner party rather than a tour. We loved it!

Alenka did a great job...

Alenka did a great job sharing her knowledge of Slovenian food and wine regions. We enjoyed all of the places we stopped at and would recommend this tour.
