Description
A wine tasting in Vipava Valley at Lepa Vida is a small, personal visit to a boutique winery run by a family. The owners, Irena and Matija, host you themselves, so the conversation comes straight from the people who make the wine.
You sit at the family table and try five or more estate wines, all made following organic principles. The glasses range from the rare indigenous Zelen to an orange wine, and the owners explain how each one is made.
Every pour comes with food chosen to go with it, so the tasting works almost like a light meal at the family table. The plate includes:
- Homemade local snacks
- Artisanal cheeses
- Cured meats
The winery sits among rolling vineyards in the Vipava area, under an hour from Ljubljana. The visit lasts about an hour and a half, and it suits anyone who prefers talking with the people behind a bottle over a scripted presentation.
