💚VIPAVSKA DOLINA💚

"Kjer se vino stke z zelenjem, zgodovino in soncem v edinstven mozaik doživetij!"

Vipavska dolina, razprostrta med Nanosom in Trnovskim gozdom na zahodu ter Vipavskimi griči na vzhodu, predstavlja eno izmed najlepših in najbogatejših slovenskih pokrajin. Leži v zahodnem delu Slovenije in se razprostira med mestoma Vipava in Nova Gorica. S svojo slikovito pokrajino, bogato z zgodovino, kulturno dediščino ter vinogradi, predstavlja eno izmed najpomembnejših vinorodnih regij v državi.

Geografsko raznolikost Vipavske doline zaznamuje reka Vipava, ki ji dolini tudi daje ime. Reka teče skozi dolino, obdana z vinogradi, sadovnjaki in polji. Zaradi svoje ugodne klime, ki jo omogoča vpliv Jadranskega morja, je Vipavska dolina idealna za pridelavo vrhunskih vin in slastnih breskev. Številna sončna pobočja doline ustvarjajo edinstvene pogoje za rast trt, kar se odraža v vrhunskih sortah vina, med katerimi izstopajo rebula, malvazija in zelen.

Poleg bogate vinske tradicije Vipavska dolina ponuja tudi izjemno kulturno dediščino. Številna zgodovinska mesta, gradovi, cerkve in muzeji pričajo o pestri preteklosti te regije. Ajdovščina, eno izmed večjih mest v dolini, je obogatena z arheološkimi najdbami, ki pričajo o naselitvi že v antiki. Na drugem koncu doline pa stoji Nova Gorica, moderno mesto, ki je zraslo na območju nekdanje Gorice in je znano tudi po svojem mednarodnem karakterju ter bogati kulturni ponudbi.

Naravne znamenitosti Vipavske doline so številne in čudovite. Nanos, mogočna kraška planota, ponuja odlične možnosti za pohodništvo, plezanje in raziskovanje kraških jam. Vipavski Križ, slikovita vasica z značilnimi kamnitimi hišami, je pravi biser v dolini, ki očara s svojo avtentičnostjo in preprostostjo. Reka Vipava, znana po svoji smaragdni barvi, pa je priljubljena destinacija za ljubitelje vodnih športov, kot so kajak, kanuizem in ribolov.

Gastronomska ponudba Vipavske doline ne razočara. Lokalne restavracije in gostilne ponujajo jedi, pripravljene iz lokalno pridelanih sestavin, ki se odlično ujemajo z vrhunskimi vini iz okoliških vinogradov. Posebno pozornost velja nameniti tudi tradicionalnim vipavskim jedem, kot so jota, ajdova kaša z jurčki in pršut, ki predstavlja ponos lokalne kulinarike.

Vipavska dolina, s svojo slikovito pokrajino, pestro kulturno dediščino in odličnimi vini, vabi obiskovalce, da doživijo edinstveno kombinacijo naravnih lepot, zgodovinskega bogastva in kulinaričnih užitkov. Ne glede na to, ali se odločite za raziskovanje planot, uživanje v kulinaričnih dobrotah ali zgolj sproščanje ob kozarcu odličnega vipavskega vina, vas Vipavska dolina ne bo pustila ravnodušnih.

1. [VIRTUAL - monument] V Vipavski dolini, natančneje prav v tej vasi, je svoje življenje preživljal za Slovence pomemben baročni pisec Tobija Lionelli, ki ga bolje poznamo po njegovem drugem imenu. Katerem?  Poznaš mogoče njegovo najbolj znano delo? Odgovore najdeš na spomeniku poleg samostana.

💚VIPAVA VALLEY💚

"Where wine intertwines with greenery, history, and sunshine in a unique mosaic of experiences!"

The Vipava Valley, nestled between Nanos and Trnovo Forest to the west and the Vipava Hills to the east, stands as one of the most beautiful and affluent regions in Slovenia. Located in the western part of the country, it stretches between the towns of Vipava and Nova Gorica. With its picturesque landscape, rich history, cultural heritage, and vineyards, it represents one of the most important wine regions in the country.

The geographical diversity of the Vipava Valley is marked by the Vipava River, which also gives the valley its name. Flowing through the valley, surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and fields, the river benefits from a favorable climate influenced by the Adriatic Sea, making the Vipava Valley ideal for producing premium wines and delicious peaches. The sunny slopes of the valley create unique conditions for grapevine growth, reflected in outstanding wine varieties, including Rebula, Malvazija, and Zelen.

Beyond its rich wine tradition, the Vipava Valley offers an exceptional cultural heritage. Numerous historical sites, castles, churches, and museums bear witness to the region's diverse past. Ajdovščina, one of the larger towns in the valley, is enriched with archaeological finds dating back to antiquity. At the other end of the valley stands Nova Gorica, a modern city that has grown on the site of the former Gorizia and is known for its international character and rich cultural offerings.

The natural attractions of the Vipava Valley are numerous and stunning. Nanos, a majestic karst plateau, provides excellent opportunities for hiking, climbing, and exploring karst caves. Vipavski Križ, a picturesque village with characteristic stone houses, is a true gem in the valley, captivating with its authenticity and simplicity. The Vipava River, known for its emerald color, is a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts, such as kayaking, canoeing, and fishing.

The gastronomic offerings of the Vipava Valley do not disappoint. Local restaurants and inns serve dishes prepared from locally sourced ingredients that pair perfectly with the top-notch wines from nearby vineyards. Special attention should be given to traditional Vipava dishes, such as jota, buckwheat porridge with porcini mushrooms, and prosciutto, representing the pride of local cuisine.

The Vipava Valley, with its picturesque landscape, rich cultural heritage, and excellent wines, invites visitors to experience a unique combination of natural beauty, historical wealth, and culinary delights. Whether you choose to explore plateaus, indulge in culinary delights, or simply relax with a glass of excellent Vipava wine, the Vipava Valley will not leave you indifferent.
