Prosecco

Nearly everyone has tried Prosecco at some point, but very few have taken the opportunity to see the small village from which the legendary wine inherited its name. Although its finest forms are made in the vineyards of Veneto, this wine originates from the small town of Prosecco in Friuli Venezia Giulia, near the city of Trieste and the Slovenian border. The Glera grape is grown in the village of Prosecco, now a suburb of Trieste, which is where Prosecco was originally conceived. Join us on our tour and you will delve into the well-kept secret that is the beauty of the region. On the tour you will have the chance to discover this under-explored region, hear all about the history of Prosecco and appreciate the most historically significant vineyards, before visiting one exceptional winery to try some of the most renowned sparkling wine in all of Italy.

Stanjel

Our tour will carry on to the medieval village of Štanjel, which was one of the first communities in the Karst Region, loved for its ancient village centre and its awe-inspiring sweeping vistas. Štanjel sits atop a scenic hill, where you can easily see some its most famous structures. The castle complex, defence walls, Church of St. Daniel, surrounding village and the Ferrari Garden are the most notable architectural points of the old settlement. The village has changed in appearance over the centuries, but it has always maintained the spirit of the Karst. The town gets its name from the patron Saint Daniel, offering an interesting cultural heritage. During both world wars, Štanjel was uniquely influenced by architect and mayor at the time, Maks Fabiani. He preserved the essence of the village while using his creative finesse to rejuvenate the newly-renovated public structures. Fabiani’s most notable work in Štanjel involved the restoration of Ferrari Villa and the design of the extraordinary Ferrari Garden park, lauded as the most significant park landscaping in Slovenia from the inter-war period.

Wonderful night! Klin vinyards

Katrina, our guide was also the owner of her own vinyard called Klin! Very interesting lady she actually went to school to become an architect and gave it all up to work her land. Very interesting history about the Prosecco this region she lives in particular and the history of her region and how it relates to the Slovenian and Italian history. Wonderful charcuterie, and lovely wines. She doesn’t sell commercially. I would definitely come back if I’m in the region to get some more we appreciat...read more

The best unexpected tour we’ve ever done!

This tour was fantastic. It was not what we initially expected but exceeded our expectations by a long shot. First, we had a great guide, Stephan. He was super knowledgeable, funny, accommodating, and entertaining. The trip was about 6 hours total with multiple stops, it was nice having a smaller group, felt more intimate and less touristy. We stopped at the lighthouse in Trieste and then drove up the cliff to Tempio Mariano and took in the views from this gorgeous church. We then drove through ...read more

This is a small group tour to historic towns. The difference is the wine tasting. The charcuterie board of food to go with the wine tasting was fabulous and very delious. The afternoon was not rush and we were able to enjoy the wine that we were sampling.
