Trip to Brda
Nestled between the Alps and the Mediterranean, the picturesque rolling hills of Brda are renowned for exceptional wines, world-class cuisine, romantic villages, and a rich natural and cultural heritage. Often referred to as the Slovenian Tuscany, Brda truly live up to the name. But for us, Brda are not just a destination — they are our home, our inspiration, and a family commitment that has been nurtured with heart and dedication for generations.
Your visit to Brda can truly shine when paired with a stay at Villa Vajta — a charming accommodation just steps away from our restaurant, lovingly managed by our family with the same care and attention as Belvin. The villa offers complete privacy, breathtaking views, cozy comfort, and added indulgence in the outdoor pool and boutique wellness area — perfect for moments when you crave peace and nature.
Looking for a wine tasting experience?
We warmly recommend visiting Pulec Wine Cellar, which — like Belvin and Villa Vajta — is family-owned. With advance notice, we are happy to open the doors of our cellar and guide you through a tasting where you can experience the true soul of Brda. We mature a variety of premium, award-winning wines that tell the story of our land, climate, and carefully preserved family tradition with every sip.
Brda also offer many other wine trails — from the largest winery Klet Brda to numerous small, boutique winemakers who each contribute their own essence to the winemaking heart of Slovenia.
