Travel Detail

The tour, beginning in front of the Town Hall, takes you through the historical city center, whose unique architecture is the legacy of the Baroque and Art Nouveau periods and, most notably, the work of the famous 20th-century architect Joze Plecnik. The tour includes a stop at one of Ljubljana's restaurants, where you will have an opportunity to taste traditional Slovenian dishes as part of a brief tasting session. Ljubljana Castle, standing on a hill above the city for about 900 years, is Ljubljana's main attraction. On this tour, you will also learn about its history and enjoy beautiful city views afforded by the castle's ramparts.

This shared 'Beer Experience' offers you an opportunity to taste a variety of local beers while learning about Ljubljana's long tradition of brewing. The earliest known brewery in Ljubljana dates back to around 1592, and by 1796, the city had six breweries. Admittedly, there seems to have been some sort of lull in the 200 years between. In recent years, the popularity of craft beers made by different microbreweries in Ljubljana and surrounding areas has, however, seen rapid growth and received high marks from travellers. The tour promises a great evening of interesting conversation, cool facts and even greater beer. During the tour, you'll visit five different drink outlets and taste seven different beers made by five different breweries, two based in Ljubljana and three in other parts of Central Slovenia. On top of that you'll visit the Brewery Museum, set up by the Pivovarna Union brewery, where the popular Union beer has been brewed since 1864, and round off your experience at the Pivnica Union pub. While the actual beers served might change, Mali Grad from a brewery in the town of Kamnik and an IPA from the Human Fish Brewery received notable mentions. Anyone who has visited Slovenia's amazing Postojna Cave, knows of course that the human fish is also a unique resident of the cave, namely the olm, an aquatic salamander. During the summer the tour starts at 6:00pm at the Slovenian Tourist Information Centre on Krekov trg 10, Ljubljana. Please note, this tour is only suitable for people aged 18 and over. This is an excursion promising a lot fun. It will, naturally, appeal to anyone interested in the world of beer.

Enjoy a day travelling on a privately guided excursion admiring wonderful scenery and tasting excellent wines. Your first stop is at the vineyards of the Lisjak family, in the heart of the Karst area, and growers of fine red Refosco grapes from which Teran, a superlative wine, is produced. You are going to try some of that together with a taste of delicious prosciutto. From here you continue to the Brda region, one of Slovenia's best wine regions with a fairy tale landscape of rolling hills and delightfully quaint villages. The entire area is a foodies paradise, with Mediterranean flavours being prevalent through the use of great olive oils, excellent fresh herbs and, of course, outstanding wines. At some stage you have an opportunity to climb the unusual panoramic tower in Gonjace offering, on a fine day, amazing views over the countryside as far as the bay of Trieste. Next to the tower is a memorial dedicated to those who died during WWII on the banks of the Soca River. On to the magnificent village of Smartno, an architectural jewel as well as a cultural monument. It's uniquely beautiful as a whole but you should also pay attention to its many exquisite details. Enjoy a liquor tasting followed by lunch in one of Slovenia's most fabulous villas. There's one last wine tasting at the vineyard of Marjan Simcic, a family estate that has been growing grapes for five generations. Before your return to Ljubljana you will have a chance to stop along the stunning Soca River. This tour will, especially, appeal to foodies of all ages.
