Food and wine tasting in Slovenia’s Goriška Brda wine region, followed by an overnight stay at Hiša Marica in the picturesque, historical village of Šmartno. BRDA & VINO is popular for many reasons: the variety of dishes and wines on offer, great atmosphere, cultural entertainment, and the beautiful setting. It was a pleasure to attend the BRDA & VINO Wine and Culinary Festival again after my last visit in 2019. This spring event takes place annually in the picturesque medieval village of Šmartno in Slovenia’s Goriška Brda wine region. It didn’t take place for the past two years due to ..read more

Culinary Pop-Up by Repovž Restaurant at Domaine Slapšak

A dinner with countless dishes of modernised traditional Slovenian food accompanied by sparkling wines made according to the Champagne method. Travelling around Slovenia, eating foods that are typical of a particular region, is my passion. When I had the opportunity to travel an hour east of Ljubljana for a very special dinner, not only did I come across some new dishes, but I also found myself in a little bit of Champagne. This dinner, I must emphasise, is definitely a top highlight among my culinary experiences in Slovenia over the summer of 2021: Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant Gostilna R ..read more

This prestigious 50-year-old Slovenian Sauvignon that sells at just under €160 a bottle is the highlight at Salon Sauvignon 2020 in Ptuj. It’s not every day that I get the opportunity to show my face, or rather my age, quality, and character. On a day-to-day basis, I lie in a dark and humid place surrounded by dusty walls lined with rows of equally dusty wine racks. Ptuj Wine Cellar: My Home The Ptuj Wine Cellar (Ptujska Klet) is my home. Here I rest, in the wine archive, day in day out as time impacts the character of my vintage. I’m in the company of around 200,000 bottles of archival wines ..read more

Cheers from the terrace at Santomas Estate in the village of Šmarje near CapodistriaA visit to Santomas winery, including a wine tasting and tour of the cellars, in the hills of Slovene Istria near Koper (Capodistria) With not much choice but to attend virtual wine tastings during lockdown and COVID time, it feels wonderful to venture further away from home and enjoy wines at their very source: the winery. How did we spend the first part of 2021? Eating and drinking wines at home. Nice for a while. But as soon as we get the opportunity to travel around Slovenia and not be restricted by intrare ..read more
