Best wedding venues in Slovenia – Vipava valley
Get married or elope in one of the most picturesque valleys in Europe.
Are you looking to marry your significant other in one of the best wedding venues in Slovenia? Make sure to check Vipava valley with its numerious options. Slovenia is a small, green country located between the more famous neighbouring countries: Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary. It is a perfect blend of the best experiences these countries are offering.
No wonder that the famous travel guide Lonely Planet put Vipava valley to the Best in Europe 2018. The valley locates itself between the Nanos plateau in the east and Italian border in the west. The narrow valley of the Vipava River serves as the main passage between the Friulian lowland and central Slovenia. Therefore it is also an important corridor connecting Northern Italy to Central Europe. It is closed to the north by the high Trnovo Forest Plateau (Slovene: Trnovski gozd). On the other side the Karst Plateau borderes the valley in the south . It’s name comes from Vipava River. The main urban center is Ajdovščina.
Peppered with terracotta-tiled hamlets and gothic spires, and with grapevines stretching along gentle slopes creating lines, it would be easy to mistake the Vipava Valley for a rustic Tuscan idyll. But these fertile winelands, bounded by steep karst plateaus to the north and south, are still remarkably undiscovered. And they’re hiding in plain sight, just west of Ljubljana.
In Slovenia, they have been cultivating vines for millennia. However today this is a land of boutique winemakers. Their experimental varietals and techniques are producing outstanding results and attracting adventurous oenophiles.
With numerious restaurants and agritourism farms the valley is giving you plenty of options if you decide to say “I do” in Vipava valley. Therefore…it won’t dissapoint you! Specially if you love a fine cuisine and good glass of wine.

Best time to visit Vipava valley.
For it’s mild mediterranean climate, you can pay a visit to Vipava valley all year round. But as we speak of weddings any time from April to October would be the best. During the summer months it can get really hot but you can cool down by the Vipava or Hubelj river or have hike (or a drive) above the valley to Nanos or Trnovo forest plateau. But I would definitely recommend planning your wedding during the quieter months, like April, May, September or October.
