Frequently asked questions

Yes, absolutely. I offer pick-up from your hotel and return transportation, so there’s no need to
worry about finding a pick-up location.

It depends on the start of the tour and the wine region we’re visiting. Usually, the pick-up time is
between 8:30 and 9:45 AM.

My daily public tours are limited to 9 guests, as this allows for a more personalized wine
experience. I don’t offer tours for more than 10 guests.

It depends on the wine region we’re visiting and the traffic. Usually, you'll be back at the hotel
between 7:00 and 8:00 PM.

For small groups of up to three guests, I use Kia Ceed. For larger groups, up to 8 people I use
Renault Trafic Passenger.

Lucy, wine tour guide and wine lover. To find more about me, please visit the About me page.

My wine tours cover all costs, except for personal expenses and insurance. This includes: tour
organization, my services, transport to and from your hotel, lunch with wine pairing, and all wine
tastings at the wineries we visit.

Yes, all the restaurants I work with are well-prepared to accommodate various dietary
restrictions or other special requests. It’s best to give me at least 24 hours' notice so I can make
the necessary arrangements for you.

You only need to bring your camera, as the Slovenian wine regions are very picturesque, and
perhaps a pen and notebook if you'd like to take notes during the wine tastings.

I highly recommend wearing something comfortable and casual. The temperature in wine cellars
is usually cooler, between 55°F and 57°F (12°C to 14°C), so layering is a good idea.
Comfortable walking shoes are also better than sandals.

Currently, I offer three different wine tours: Jeruzalem wine tour on Fridays, Vipava
Valley wine tour on Saturdays and Haloze Wine Tour on Sundays. On the remaining days, I’m available for private wine tours.

My wine tours take place in all weather conditions – I never let the weather affect the enjoyment
of a great wine tour. In case of bad weather, we simply spend more time indoors, in wine cellars,
tasting and learning about wine. When the weather is nice, we stay outdoors, take photos, and
stop at various viewpoints.

Right now the only option is to book through our secure online booking system. You'll get a confirmation email once your booking is confirmed. This should only take a few minutes. 

Yes, absolutely! In fact, it’s highly encouraged, as some wines are only available directly at the
wineries. Many of the wineries also offer international shipping, so you can have the wines
delivered straight to your home.

Currently I only organize one day wine tours to different wine regions across Slovenia. 
For more information about these tours, feel free to contact me via email: info@lucyswinetours.com

Yes, that’s how I started my wine tour business! I can create a customized wine experience in
any wine region in Slovenia, tailored to your preferences, wishes, and requirements.
For more information, please contact me via email: info@lucyswinetours.com or telephone:

I only accept credit card payments. 

Yes, but I require at least 48 hours' notice for a refund.
