The city

What to expect from Vipava.

Small town of about 2,000 inhabitants in the upper Vipava Valley, at the foot of the Nanos plateau, first mentioned in 1367. It springs around the sources of the Vipava River, which emerge at several points near the main square and are crossed by bridges. It is the base for visiting Vipavski Križ, the stone village of Goče and the valley’s wineries, where local grapes such as zelen and pinela are grown.
