Visit Kras connects travelers with curated experiences across the Karst (Kras) landscape of Slovenia. The organization arranges guided tours, tastings, workshops, and cultural visits that highlight karst geology, local winemaking, regional cuisine, and living traditions. Popular programs include the guided Visit to the Divača Cave, equestrian performances and official training sessions at Lipica, wine tastings at cellars such as G House, Slamič Wines, Petelin‑Rogelja and Miro's Cellar, and culinary experiences at Restaurant Prunk and Špacapanova hiša.
Visit Kras also offers hands‑on and cultural activities: Rodman Beekeeping Poetry introduces beekeeping and honey products; stone carving workshops provide traditional craft experience; Secrets of the Škratelj Homestead presents the Museum of Slovenian Film Actors and local herbal teas; and guided visits explore the medieval village of Štanjel and the historic Grad Štanjel Restaurant. Many experiences pair tastings of native Karst wines (Teran, Malvazija) with local cheeses, cured meats, or seasonal dishes.
Local guides and partner hosts deliver each experience: professional cave guides at Divača Cave, the Lipica Classical Riding School for shows and training, family‑run winemakers for cellar tours and tastings, and established restaurants and homesteads for cooking and dining events. Visit Kras structures bookings to accommodate individuals, couples, and small groups seeking authentic, reliable on‑site experiences that showcase the biodiversity, culture, and flavors of the Karst region.
