Most na Soči to Vipava

Brace yourselves.
Down the hotel Šterk’s driveway about 90 meters - tight hairpin turn to the left and climbing starts at 16% and rolls by on for 2k. Good morning.
Another day and again the countryside changes at every turn.
We find our way back to the Soča river by tiny backroads, only briefly on a secondary road. We continue to follow the river on a cycleway (did I say we love this country) until morning tea.
Our tour guide is a genius and has furnished us with maps that avoid the main roads - swings and roundabouts - as some of these detours take us through villages perched on hills while the busier roads track the river.
Our destination is Slap (outside Vipava) which has its town centre preserved. We are staying in Žorž winery. It has been in the same family for 150 years. The buildings are currently undergoing extensive restoration and the work is fabulous
We had a tasting of their range then left us with “please drink any wines you like from the fridge and racks”. We like them all. Not so much the Rosé and Orange (colour not fermentation Fruit) wine.
90% chance of rain tomorrow. Grrr.Read more
