About your trip
Gourmet dining in a Slovenian castle, sunshine and wine in Croatia’s take on Tuscany… If it’s a European adventure with a touch of finery you’re after, you’ve just struck gold.
First stop: Slovenia. Small but perfectly formed, this diminutive country packs in vast peaks, glacial lakes and wild bear-filled forests. Against this scenic backdrop, you’ll dine on gourmet food in Ljubljana’s castle restaurant. You’ll hike the dramatic Vintgar Gorge, canoe through the Bohinj Valley and witness the beauty of fairytale Lake Bled.
Then it’s over to Croatia and the northern region of Istria, likened to Tuscany for its countryside flecked with medieval hilltop towns, wineries and restaurants. Here, you’ll stay in a boutique vineyard hotel, hunting for truffles by day and clinking glasses by night. You’ll visit Pula’s spectacular Roman amphitheatre, relax on Rovinj’s sunset-streaked coast and explore the culture-packed capital, Zagreb. Welcome to the good life.
