The Goriška Brda are a hilly wine-growing landscape by the border with Italy, where vineyards, orchards and stone villages follow one another along the terraces. The centre is Dobrovo with its castle and wine cellar, while not far away stands Šmartno, one of the rare Slovenian villages with a preserved medieval wall. The Brda are known for rebula and for cherries; in spring they are marked by the blossom, and in autumn by the grape harvest and the open cellars. The offer is gathered around wine growers, tourist farms and inns with home cooking. Look for accommodation, inns and wine growers in Dobrovo and in the surrounding Brda villages.
