Your Private Escape Among the Vines

Imagine owning a vineyard for a weekend. In the rolling hills of Dolenjska and Bela Krajina, this dream is a reality. Known locally as ‘Zidanice’, these charming vineyard cottages were traditionally built by winemakers to store wine and host friends. Today, they have been transformed into some of the most romantic and private tourist accommodations in Europe.

When you rent a vineyard cottage, you don’t just get a room you get the whole house and the view. Often, the host will hand you the key to the wine cellar, allowing you to pour your own glass of local Cviček or Riesling straight from the barrel. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway with a sauna and jacuzzi overlooking the vines, or a rustic digital detox, these cottages offer peace, privacy, and authentic hospitality.
