Vineyard in Vipava Valley
The Vipava Valley of Slovenia has been included in the Lonely Planet list of the top ten destinations for this summer. Emilia-Romagna of Italy tops the list followed by the Spanish region of Cantabria and the Dutch province of Friesland.

Vipava Valley ranks ninth on the Best in Europe 2018 Top 10 Destination list. The tourist guidebook publisher describes it as an “undiscovered” region. Lonely Planet also highlights the beauty of the terracotta-tiled hamlets and gothic spires that are peppering the valley. Also caught the attention of the travel guidebook publisher are the grapevines stretching along gentle slopes.

Slovenia has been cultivating vines for millennia, but today it has become the land of boutique winemakers whose experimental techniques and varietals are producing excellent results and luring adventurous wine lovers, Lonely Planet said.

The publisher advises visitors to take local-led cycle tours in exploring the region. It says the place is best explored by car or bike to enjoy outstanding treats and idyllic rural scenery.

The tourist guide also mentions the mild climate and stone fruits, such as apricots and peaches, which are deeply colourful and photogenic in autumn and pretty with blossoms in spring.

Jessica Cole, one of the editors, described Vipava Valley a gem hidden in the heart of Europe that provides outstanding culinary experiences, breath-taking landscape, and exciting adventures that are just a stone’s throw away from Ljubljana.

Ajdovščina Mayor Tadej Beočanin considers the ranking as a confirmation of their joint efforts and policies on building the story of tourism development on the historical and natural assets of the valley, as well as top wine and culinary stories and sports and adrenaline experiences to make tourism a leading activity of the region.

Travelling experts compiled Lonely Planet’s Best in Europe to help travellers discover an alternative to the overcrowded and popular tourist destinations.
