The Tuscany of Slovenia & Land of Rebula

Rolling hills covered in terraced vineyards, medieval villages perched on ridges, and golden light that feels distinctly Mediterranean welcome to Goriška Brda. Often compared to Tuscany, this region on the Italian border is Slovenia’s most famous wine country, renowned globally for its award-winning white wines, particularly the indigenous Rebula (Ribolla Gialla).

Brda is a place to slow down. Wander the cobblestone streets of the walled village of Šmartno, climb the Gonjače Viewing Tower for a panorama stretching from the Alps to the Adriatic, or visit during the famous Cherry Festival in spring. Whether you are seeking a luxury vineyard stay, a Michelin-plate lunch, or a cellar tour with a passionate winemaker, Brda offers a world class gastronomic experience.
