    Ljubljana Castle, Grajska planota 1, 1000 Ljubljana

On the sunny side of Castle Hill lies the Castle Vineyard, one of Ljubljana’s unique attractions.

Soft green lawns surrounded by more than a thousand grapevines, far from the bustle of the city, create the perfect setting for a unique culinary and wine experience. Along the way to the vineyard and back, visitors discover fascinating stories about Ljubljana Castle’s rich history and the legacy of Slovenia’s greatest architect, Jože Plečnik.

During the guided tour, visitors learn about the history of Ljubljana Castle, Plečnik’s vision for Castle Hill, and the stories behind the Castle Vineyard and its wine varieties. The experience continues with a relaxed picnic in a green oasis above Ljubljana, featuring selected local delicacies from the castle picnic basket and a glass of castle wine.

The picnic basket includes local cheeses, cured meats, spreads, seasonal fruit, dessert, bread, lemonade, water, and castle wine. The experience is perfect for couples, friends, and small groups looking to discover Ljubljana from a different perspective.
