What we sayLanguage
SlovenianHvalathank you
Slovenia sits where the Alps, the Mediterranean and the Pannonian plain meet, and its cooking draws from all three. Mountain farms make cheese and cured meats, the Karst plateau dries its prosciutto in the bora wind, and the short coastline adds fish and olive oil.
In the west, Goriška Brda and the Vipava valley are known for skin-contact orange wines and generous family wineries. Ljubljana, the capital, has an open-air market, riverside cafés and a growing number of ambitious young chefs.
And then there is Lake Bled: an island church, a castle above the water, and the famous cream cake served on its shore.
Insider tip from Richard
Richard Gruica, your host
Leave room for dessert at the lake. It's worth the walk, and you'll walk it off anyway.
