The Vipava Valley wine express tour is an afternoon trip from Ljubljana to two small wineries in western Slovenia, with wine and local food at each stop. It suits people who like wine, want to meet the people who make it, and would rather not drive back after a tasting.
Past travelers mention generous tastings and good local food, like home-cured meats and cheese. Many also say the hosts made them feel welcome, more like guests at a family table than visitors at a shop.

I had a wonderful time on this beautiful wine country tour in Slovenia! The scenery was absolutely stunning, the people were warm and welcoming, and the wine samples were fantastic. It was such a lovely way to experience the region, learn about the local wines, and enjoy the company of great people. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Slovenia! 🍷🍇🇸🇮
Both wineries were great and we enjoyed our half day trip. The wine was good and the food was fantastic. Jan, the tour guide was friendly and informative. We very much enjoyed the trip and recommend it!
It was such a fun experience. The guide says they do a rotation of wineries. We went to one winery in someone’s home and another more corporate winery. The wine was delicious and the wine makers were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. There were yummy snacks with the wine and my tour guide was so much fun.
The wineries rotate, so it depends on the day. Past travelers usually visited one small family estate and one bigger, more modern winery. Both are in the Vipava Valley.
No. Some past travelers were on their first wine tour and enjoyed it. The winemakers explain each wine, so you can learn as you go.
Yes, a light lunch is a good idea. The food is served as appetizers with the wine, not as a full meal, and pickup is at 2:00 PM.
Yes. Many past travelers bought bottles at the estates. Small producers often don’t sell much through shops, so it’s worth buying what you like on the spot.
A tasting in Ljubljana usually pours wines from all over Slovenia in a bar or cellar. On this trip you go to the vineyards and taste wine from one region with the people who make it.
