As would be expected from a country which borrows the lyrics for its national anthem from a poem entitled The Toast, winemaking and viticulture hold a special place in the hearts and minds of most Slovenes. With hundreds of individual vineyards - most of which are small to medium-sized family run affairs - spread across several different wine-growing regions, choosing where to visit during a short stay can be a daunting task. We've tried to include a wide range of options below, but as you can see, our slight bias towards and geographic proximity to the west of the country has left those regions (especially Goriška Brda) more well-represented than their counterparts in the east. But when it comes to tasting wine and visiting vineyards, in Slovenia you can't really go wrong.
