    1. Wine and olive oil tasting in Koper

    5.0· 3 reviews· 1.5 hours

    Two hours in a local wine cellar with olive oil tasting and Mediterranean garden views, plus a tour of wine production and quality recognition steps.

    On our journey from Croatia to Italy, we made an impromptu stop at a Slovenian winery that turned into an unforgettable experience. We were warmly welcomed by sommelier Natalia, whose professionalism and infectious warmth made the wine tasting feel like a personal journey rather than a simple visit. Her passion and ability to explain the wines in an accessible yet profound way made us feel like cherished guests, almost like old friends. We enjoyed five distinct wines, each exhibiting its own character, ranging from refined elegance to bold flavors. Every taste was an exploration of delightful scents and flavors that lingered. Additionally, the winery’s quality oils were outstanding, and the four we sampled were true culinary masterpieces—intense, harmonious, and capable of elevating the palate to new heights. This visit turned into a treasured memory, thanks to the excellent wines, remarkable oils, and the exceptional guidance from Natalia. I highly recommend this stop to anyone who appreciates fine wine, quality oil, and passionate people dedicated to their craft.316antonellof
  2. Truffle hunting and cooking experience in Istria, Koper2

    2. Truffle hunting and cooking experience in Istria

    5.0· 46 reviews· 3 hours

    Half-day truffle hunting and cooking session — hunt with a professional, make Istrian pasta with fresh truffles, paired with local Malvasia wine.

    We were fortunate to have a private tour. The truffle hunter and his dog were remarkable, and the host effectively translated everything. Watching the hunt was delightful, with the dog finding three truffles. Afterwards, we were welcomed into her beautiful home, where she served a lovely meal featuring small plates of garden-fresh cheese, meat, and vegetables. We enjoyed the meal on her inviting outdoor terrace. She also prepared a delicious pasta with truffles. Her expertise on truffles was impressive, and we gained valuable insights. We strongly recommend this tour.Mary_S

    A full-day small-group tour by air-conditioned transport — visit Lake Bled and Ljubljana with a licensed guide, including local food recommendations.

    The excursion to Lake Bled and Ljubljana led by Norman was truly exceptional. From the beginning to the end, he ensured a seamless, enjoyable, and informative experience. Norman was timely, professional, and attentive, making everyone feel at ease and engaged throughout the day. Lake Bled was stunning, and Norman's insights into its history and culture enhanced our visit significantly. He guided us to the best photo spots while allowing ample time for exploration at our leisure. In Ljubljana, he animated the city with intriguing stories, hidden treasures, and local knowledge that we would have missed otherwise. What really impressed me was Norman's enthusiasm for his work; it's evident he truly enjoys it. His humor and friendly demeanor made the day feel more like an adventure with an informed friend than a traditional tour. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience. If you're planning a visit to Slovenia, booking with Norman is a must—you'll create unforgettable memories.Explorer441762
