Nova Gorica and Vipava Valley

In western Slovenia, travellers are enchanted by the fertile Vipava Valley, which together with the cross-border Goriška region forms a meeting point of cultures where different worlds have intertwined for thousands of years.

The destination impresses with its unspoilt beauty, discovered through natural attractions such as the Otlica Window, the Skozno Natural Bridge, the source of the Vipava River, the wine-growing Vipava Hills, and the Trnovo Forest Plateau. Are you a lover of history and art? Visit Rihemberk Castle, the medieval town of Vipavski Križ, or Zemono Manor. In Ajdovščina, explore the remains of the Roman Castra fortress, and in Nova Gorica, see the Bourbon family tomb at Kostanjevica Monastery and the Europe Square. 

The Vipava Valley is a land of wine. The diversity of grape varieties, including the indigenous Zelen and Pinela, delights wine lovers. Local winemakers honour tradition while combining it with modern approaches, charming visitors with their personal stories during tastings in their cellars. Indulge in outstanding cuisine based on fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. Its quality has been recognised by the most prestigious culinary guides, including Michelin.
