We made a quick stop on our way north in the Vipava Valley, otherwise known as foodie and wine-o heaven. To take full advantage, we stayed on an agriturismo in Tomaj run by the Skerlj family and enjoyed dinner and breakfast from the fruits of the land. We had to find an ATM the next morning and decided to take that as an opportunity for a nice walk to the next town. The walk took us by apple and plum trees in abundance, and even more vines just waiting for harvest time in a couple of months. There wasn't much in "town," but we did find a really nice guy and the tourist info office (which I'm surprised they even had!) who called over to a local vineyard and arranged for us to visit. Turns out Boris Lisjak's family has been making wine for generations, and they've amassed quite a lot of awards for it, too. Lucky us! It was fun to see his cellar and of course to taste three of his varietals. We took a bottle of the Teran - Istria's most common and well known red - with us to enjoy later.
