Tour description

We'll leisurely cruise through a maze of vineyards and small villages. Stopping along the way I'll share some interesting tales of the valley as we discover Slovenia's biggest mystery! When reaching the medieval town of Vipavski Križ, we'll stop for a good reason... It's time to taste the secret wine that fascinated the Roman Emperor!

After wine tasting and sightseeing of Vipavski Križ, either you can call it a day there and sample some additional wines in which case we'll provide a van transfer back to the starting point. Or you can cycle the remaining part of the tour on charming backroads of Vipava Valley.

We'll be discovering the very heart of Vipava Valley, starting from our little village of Skrilje. We'll keep off the main roads, cycling through vineyards and tiny gravel roads with very little traffic - we probably won't meet anyone except the winegrowers, working in their beloved vineyards. We'll make a longer stop in the historic town of Vipavski Križ for a walk and wine tasting.

E-bike tour Bikes were in excellent condition and really easy to use. Superb locality to go out and explore with plenty of road and off-road options allowing us to have some amazing views across the valley. A thoroughly enjoyable day out exploring was had by the whole group! Alex is a fantastic, bubbly and warm owner who has a wealth of experience - he will definitely ensure you have a brilliant time. If you love getting out on a bike and are in the area then this is an absolute must! - 9/12/2020

Amazing day! We did the tour which included the wine tasting, and the guided tour with Ebikes, The group was small (Me, my boyfriend and another person) so it was very pleasant to get all information about the region. Alex was a superb guide and we enjoyed the activity so much. The bikes are very easy to manage. Since it was the vintage period, we were able to help with the harvest of the grapes with Alex's family.
It was definately a great experience and we had so much fun with Alex who is an awesome guide! - 9/23/2019

Fab cycling trip in Vipava Valley From initial email enquiry to picking up the the ebikes, Alex was warm, welcoming and made sure everything went smoothy. He responded quickly to any queries I had. The organisation and tips were superb. We had a beautiful day out and can recommend this trip highly, the ebikes were great fun and were perfect for us as they day was quite warm. The area is beautiful and we took the opportunity to stop off a lots of places enroute. This area is a hidden gem, put it on your to do list if touring Slovenia. Really enjoyed pedalling along tracks and through vineyards, so peaceful! Great day had by our 2 teenagers too :) - 9/04/2019

Great trip! Janis was knowledgeable about the area. The e-bikes made it easy to go up even the steepest of hills. The countryside we went around was very picturesque. Great lunch of meats and cheeses. Would thoroughly recommend this experience. - 8/21/2019

Very nice way to discover Slovenia My friends and I had a wonderful tour with Jana.
Jana was very nice and super professional, even we were complete tourists with no biking experience!
The tour was beautiful, the Vipava valley is full of beauty and history.
The tasting was also superb - Slovenian wines we tasted were all very good surprise. Orange wine was definitely my favorite and I learned new stuff about wine. Summer sun helps to feel like it is paradise!
Please all go and visit Vipava valley with Rock Velo - you won’t regret it! - 8/21/2019
