Wandering wheels

TRIP DETAILS

Unpaved paths among the vineyards and winding roads through picturesque villages are ideal for pleasant cycling. Your trip starts by uncovering the most beautiful tales of Ajdovščina, the cultural center of the Vipava Valley. Traces of life from the Roman times, narrow streets of the old town center and ancient long coexistence of the resilient locals with the famous Bora wind are the heart and soul of the town. On your way to Vipava, a stop in the village of Slap is a must. Here you will learn about the old winemaking culture and intriguing family traditions. Tasting autochthonous wine varieties in the atmosphere of old wine cellars will definitely be one of the highlights of the day!

After a refreshing stop in Slap we head to a delightful little town of Vipava, which is also called “Slovene Venice” due to its numerous bridges crossing the river of Vipava. Life in this town, which hides many romantic getaways, is closely intertwined with the story of the vine, which was brought here thousands of years ago by the Romans. Following the tour of Vipava, we head to a nearby village of Vrhpolje, where we end our trip, tasting the best wine and dishes from local winemakers.
