Get ready for a journey that celebrates the art of wine, the beauty of nature, and the spirit of women connecting over shared passions.

Discover Slovenia: A Hidden Wine Paradise

Slovenia, boasts over 2,400 years of winemaking history. On this tour, you’ll explore its three main wine regions: Primorska, Posavje, and Podravje—each offering its own unique terroir and varietals. The highlight of the  journey is Primorska, Slovenia’s most celebrated wine region, where old-world charm meets modern winemaking.

Nestled just a stone’s throw from Italy’s Friuli region, Primorska’s bold reds, mineral-rich whites, and famous orange wines will captivate your palate. These wines are a true expression of the region’s innovative spirit and deep-rooted traditions.

As we travel through Slovenia, you’ll meet passionate female winemakers who are dedicated to sustainable, family-run vineyards.  You’ll discover rare varietals like Rebula and Teran, and learn about Slovenia’s dedication to authenticity and craftsmanship. Every sip is an invitation to experience the soul of Slovenia’s wine culture—a place where tradition and innovation coexist beautifully.

Explore Croatia: Coastal Wines & Mediterranean Charm

Next, we’ll head south to Croatia, where the Adriatic coast meets ancient vineyards. Croatia’s wine regions are steeped in history and have over 130 indigenous grape varieties.

Along the stunning Dalmatian Coast, discover hidden wineries, where the flavours of Plavac Mali, Malvazija, and Pošip shine in this sun-drenched Mediterranean landscape.

Picture this: sipping a glass of beautifully balanced red, overlooking crystal-clear waters with the scent of the sea in the air.

You’ll experience the rich diversity of Croatian wine while pairing it with delicious local specialties—from fresh seafood to artisanal cheeses and olive oils. You’ll meet both traditional winemakers and bold innovators, each creating wines that reflect the rugged beauty of the Croatian landscape. Croatia’s wine culture is as diverse and vibrant as the country itself, and you’ll get a true taste of its incredible variety.

A Journey Through Time: Culture & Scenery

This tour is not just about wine—it’s about immersing yourself in the beauty and culture of Slovenia and Croatia. You’ll explore picturesque medieval towns, wander through UNESCO-listed heritage sites, and soak in the rich history of these two remarkable countries. In Slovenia, the charming capital of Ljubljana offers a delightful blend of old-world elegance and contemporary flair, while in Croatia, you’ll walk the cobbled streets of Dubrovnik, a city that feels like stepping back in time.

Expect vineyard feasts in scenic locations, cozy dinners in historic cellars, and moments of wonder at every turn. The beauty of the landscapes—from the rolling hills of Slovenia’s wine country to the dazzling waters of the Adriatic—will leave you breathless.

This tour isn’t just about discovering wine—it’s about celebrating the joy of travel, culture, and connection. You’ll bond with passionate wine lovers, sharing laughter and stories over a glass (or two) of delicious wine. Whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur or just beginning your wine journey, this experience promises to be filled with memories, laughter, and a deep appreciation for the art of winemaking.
