SLOVENIAN WINE ROADS
“We eat and drink to live! But we don’t live to eat and drink!“ That‘s what the adage says, telling us that both wine and food are consequences of man‘s economic endeavours, a form of social cohesion and a reflection of the immense variety of cultural creativity. That is why it is through wines and dishes that we can recognise life styles, ordinary days and holidays, the efforts of individuals, families and inhabitants of towns, villages and regions. Through this publication we invite you to discover the richness of all three wine-growing regions of Slovenia, which, with its hundreds of years of cultural entanglements, is building its modern recognisability at the junction of the European Alps, the Mediterranean and the Pannonian Plain. It is this very junction that also gives a special and recognisable character to all of our wines and cuisine. Our numerous, often quite boutique and extremely natural wines, include quite a few original or autochthonous specialties, which, along with other wines, can very quickly create unique experiences and relationships for you. Here the path from heart to soul is a very short one... That is exactly why we are offering you several wine routs, which will lead you through the wine-growing regions of Podravje, Posavje and Primorska... To good people and dishes and to noble wines!
