A Journey Through Slovenia's Terroir: The Three Faces of a Winemaking Nation

To understand Slovenian wine is to understand Slovenia itself: a nation of dramatic contrasts and stunning diversity, where the landscape and culture can change completely in the span of a short drive. Tucked at the crossroads of Europe, Slovenia’s wine country is divided into three distinct regions, each boasting its own unique climate, soil, history, and signature grapes.

This is not a land of monolithic flavor profiles. The wines here are a direct reflection of their environment, from the sun-drenched, sea-sprayed vineyards of the west to the cool, Alpine-influenced slopes of the east. Join us as we explore the three faces of Slovenian wine: the Mediterranean Primorska, the continental Podravje, and the rolling hills of Posavje.
