Rivera Sights & Wine Fountain

Enjoy a panoramic drive along the beautiful Slovenian Riviera and explore two of its most picturesque villages, each with its own distinct personality. The Riviera stretches along a section of the Adriatic Sea known for its karst cliffs, pebbly beaches and historical villages. The coast is blissfully uncrowded and spectacularly beautiful as you will discover on the way to Izola. While meandering about the fishing village, you will notice that its architecture is decidedly Venetian, especially along the narrow streets of Old Town. Another gorgeous setting awaits you inland, where you will find the hilltop village of Marezige. Besides offering sweeping views of the sea, Marezige is known for its outdoor wine fountain, the first in Slovenia. The wine doesn’t spew into the air like fountain water but rather flows from wine taps built into a stone wall. You will be offered a sample that may include refosco, a favorite local red wine.
