When to go?
When to go? - How do we decide when to to visit in Slovenia?
Don't stress, Slovenia is a year round destination for wine tourism, but the best seasons to visit are Autumn and Spring.
During these times of the year you will see most of the big events and festivities taking place, such as wine fairs, festivals, gastronomic presentations and workshops.
Spring is beautiful, because nature awakes and everything is in bloom.
During summer it is nice to combine wine tourism with visits to the beautiful coastal towns and a chance for swimming and enjoying the sun.
Inland it can be quite hot, so finding a cool, shady spot with a glass of vino is always a good idea.
September is an ideal time to visit as that is when they are harvesting the grapes and you too can take part in the process.
A lot of the tourist farms and wineries will allow (sometimes expect!) guests to put their boots on and head for the vineyards to help
collect the grapes ready for pressing.
Harvest time is an enjoyable experience and is a highlight of many guests trip. Try the final product later, its unbelievable!
The last of the summer sun makes for beautiful evenings. Relax and enjoy local produce and of course local wines!
Sit back and learn of the Slovenian way of life amongst spectacular wine country.
For cityslickers, it is definitely a change of pace. What a great way to spend a holiday. Your desk job will feel like a million miles away, at least for a few days!
Winter in Slovenia is also magical.
Places like Ljubljana Christmas Market are vibrant and joyous and the Mulled Wine is sure to be flowing.
Maribor celebrates with the Pruning of the Vine in FEB/MAR. The famous vine is the oldest in the world at over 400 years old!
In November the whole of Slovenia celebrates St. Martin's Day, the traditional day that symbolises the must turning to wine.
The must is usually considered impure and sinful, until it is baptised and turned into wine. The baptism is performed by someone who dresses up as a bishop and blesses the wine; this is usually done by the host.
Another person is chosen as the godfather of the wine. The foods traditionally eaten on the day are goose and home-made or store bought mlinci (traditional flatbread).
Whenever you decide to visit Slovenia, you will be most welcome!
