From Friuli to Ljubljana, The City of Dragons

Friuli may be one of Italy's best-kept secrets for tourists, but Italians have been coming here for centuries to enjoy the local wines and natural beauty. Known for its distinctive white wines, it is interesting to note that more than half of the wine produced in Friuli is red.

Slovenia is the most underrated wine destination in Europe. Slovenia is home to the oldest vine in the world, which has been producing grapes since the 16th century in the Podravje wine-growing region.
