Vipava, known for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage, offers many opportunities to spend time in Vipava even on rainy days. When the sun hides behind the clouds, there's no need to give up discovering the place. Here are some ideas on how to spend rainy days in Vipava and make sure you enjoy unforgettable experiences despite the rain.
Winemaking museum in VipavaWhen it rains, we like to take shelter indoors. The
Winemaking Museum in Vipava is one such place, where you can stay dry and learn something new at the same time. The Lanthieri Mansion, a beautiful vaulted cellar, houses the wine collection, which offers an insight into the historical development of grape processing technologies in Vipava. The exhibitions on vine-growing, viticulture and winemaking show the rich tradition of tending the vine in the area. A visit to the wine museum is both educational and a pleasant way to spend a rainy day. Visits to the museum require prior arrangement with the Tourism Office, TRG Vipava.
Wine tastingsVipava is best known for its wine and vines, whose fertile soil and favourable climate allow for excellent growth. This has led to the development of numerous vineyards in the town and nearby villages, both family-run and larger commercial estates. A rainy day is therefore the perfect opportunity to go wine-tasting, where you can get to know and taste local and other wines. You can find more detailed information about the wineries in Vipava, including their timetables, tasting prices and other details, at the
Open wine cellars link.
A walk around the city For those who are not afraid of rain, you can still take a walk through the town with an umbrella or palerina and see the natural and cultural sights, such as
the springs of the River Vipava, which are even more beautiful on rainy days. Because of the number of springs, you will have to walk across several bridges, including the oldest one at
Tabor Fort. Walking through the main square, you can stop in front of the
Lanthieri Mansion and see the exterior, the courtyard and the park in front of it. Heading north, you will quickly reach the Old Square and from there onwards to the
church of St Stephen. You can finish your tour in the cemetery, where the two
Egyptian sarcophagi that Anton Lavrin sent to Vipava in 1845 are located from Giza. This way, even on a rainy day, you can experience all the beauty and historical treasures of Vipava.
Don't let the rain stop you from exploring!
