Bizeljsko is one of the many wine regions of Slovenia, known mainly for its sparkling wines.
However, other grape varieties also thrive in this part of the country, which has one of the friendliest climates. Some of the wineries hide another ethnological jewel: the Repnice cellars, whose centuries-old tradition has been revived in recent decades.

Ptuj is a picturesque and charming town in northeastern Slovenia. It is located on the banks of the Drava River in Slovenia. The city has a rich history that is reflected in its medieval architecture, including the imposing Ptuj Castle and the Ptuj City Tower. Visitors can also explore the city's museums, including the Ptuj Regional Museum and the Ormož Castle Museum. In addition, the annual Kurentovanje Festival with its colorful costumes, traditional music, and wine tastings is a popular event in Ptuj that attracts visitors from all over the world.

A visit to Maribor should not be missing on any trip to Slovenia. Maribor is a cosmopolitan city on the banks of the Drava River with many tourist attractions. It is the second-largest city in the country and the largest in the Styria region. The historic city center is marked by Austrian influence, and we will admire the lively and colorful squares and the old river port during Lent. One of the main tourist attractions of Maribor is the Old Vine, the Guinness Book-certified oldest grapevine in the world. We can enjoy a wine tasting at this magical location.

From Maribor, we drive to the silent valley of St. John the Baptist to admire the splendor of the monastery or Charterhouse of Žiče. After this spiritual wonder we will drive to the city of Celje, enjoy dinner, and have a night walk through the charming streets of the city center.

The perfect mix of history, culture, and cuisine, all in one day.

From Kranjska Gora, you will continue to the Soča Valley. After driving over the Vršič, the highest mountain pass in Slovenia, you will arrive in Trenta and start exploring the Soča Valley.
The Soča River has one of the most stunning colors you'll ever see, and you can follow its vivid rapids from the source to the spectacular carved gorges, all the way down where it slows down and gets deeper and more mysterious. The river is not the only spectacular sight in the valley, because most of the way you will be accompanied by outstanding mountain peaks and wonderful waterfalls.

The whole area is also steeped in the memories of the battles of the First World War, which were fought in this valley and can be seen in the war cemeteries and monuments.  We end the day in Goriška Brda, an ideal place for an overnight stay in a villa or on a local wine farm.

The last jewel of your tour is Predjama Castle and Postojna Cave - one of the most famous caves in the world. It is also the #1 tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the largest karst monuments in the world.
A unique and adventurous ride on a special train. It is one of the most diverse cave systems in the world, with 21 km of corridors, galleries and magnificent halls that offer an unparalleled experience of the underground world and a great variety of subterranean animals - including the world-famous human fish (Proteus anguinus).

At the end of the day we will visit Predjama Castle, perched high on a vertical cliff not far from Postojna Cave in the idyllic village of Predjama.
