Food & wine

An authentic culinary experience awaits! Slovenia is the only country in Europe that combines Alps, the Mediterranean, the Pannonian Plain, and Karst limestone plains. Over the centuries, culinary influences have merged with local tastes to form a unique, diverse, and distinct Slovenian cuisine. With 24 culinary regions and 356 traditional dishes with focus on fresh and local ingredients, Slovenian food is easy to love at first bite. On this tour, we will also taste wines from three different wine regions (Vipava Valley, Karst, and Istria).

With a massive selection of delicious sweet and savory dishes and products, such as the Karst prosciutto, the semi-hard Tolminc cheese, or the Bled cream cake, you’ll find it difficult to choose your Slovenian favorite. You won’t have to, though, as we’ll try them all on this e-bike food tour with 7 breakfasts, 5 dinners, and 2 lunches!
