Your Slovenia tour then journeys west in two of Slovenia's most dramatic landmarks. En route to Goriška Brda, travel past mountain passes and explore Postojna Caves, the largest known cave system in Slovenia. Next, a tour of the romantic Predjama Castle follows.

Enjoy lunch at a gourmet restaurant before arriving at Gredič Castle, your home while visiting Slovenia the next two nights. That evening, a three-course dinner with matching wines on the castle terrace celebrates your arrival.

Goriška Brda is Slovenia's answer to Tuscany. Indeed, rolling vineyards, olive groves, and medieval villages define the natural beauty of the landscape. Therefore, a guided tour of Smartno, a charming hilltop town with sweeping Alpine views, opens the morning beautifully. From there, Jakoncic Winery offers a private tasting of the region's celebrated varietals. 

Your stay then concludes with a three-course dinner at La Subida, the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Goriška Brda.

Departing Gredič Castle, your trip to Slovenia finally heads toward Portorož, Slovenia's glamorous "Monte Carlo." En route, Miramare Castle in Trieste delivers one of northeastern Italy's most celebrated landmarks.

Of course, enjoy lunch at Sorcerb Castle before visiting a family-owned seabass farm. There, a private water tour of the nets leads to an on-board tasting of some of the world's finest sea bass. Finally, a walking tour through Piran closes the day before a relaxed evening at Kempinski Palace Portorož.

Then a full-day excursion crosses into Croatian Istria. The hilltop town of Motovun, set above the Mirna River Valley, opens the morning. Afterward, Zigante, a celebrated truffle restaurant, serves a three-course lunch.

Finally, a family-run winery hosts a private tasting of Istrian varietals. The final evening is yours to spend at leisure in Portorož, soaking in the last of the Adriatic Sea views.
