Holiday Apartment in Drašiči – Wine, Culture and Trails

Drašiči brings together a wine-growing landscape, living cultural heritage, and trails through the surrounding area in a distinctive way. The vineyards around Drašiči provide grapes for white and red wines. A well-signposted wine road connects the best-known vineyards around Drašiči and gives the area a clear thematic link between the landscape and wine production.

Culture and Enjoyment

In the center of Drašiči stands the branch church of St. Peter. St. Peter’s Church stands opposite the Drašiči Village Vineyard Cottage and dates from 1773. The Soseska zidanica Drašiči is also closely connected with the local wine tradition: it is registered as living Slovenian cultural heritage and is open to visitors.

The Drašiči Quest is a wine experience in which the cultural heritage of Bela krajina, especially its wine traditions, is conveyed through puzzles. It includes a platter of local cured meats and cheese; visitors can also bake traditional Bela krajina flatbread themselves. Oljarna Pečarič offers a different culinary focus with a tasting of 22 different oils. During guided tours, the cold-pressing process is explained there. Dolc Wines 1834 offers wine tastings for larger and smaller groups.

On the Way

Drašiči can be explored on foot along the 11.5 km circular route “Hike along the Trails of the Communal Vineyard Cottage of Drašiči”. In autumn, on the first Saturday after St. Martin’s Day, the residents of Drašiči organize a traditional hike along the trails of the village vineyard cottage. Along the 11.5 km village vineyard cottage trail, hikers stop at several stations to taste fine wines and traditional homemade specialties prepared by local residents.

Drašiči also features on designated cycling routes. The “Vidošiči Cycle Route” passes through Drašiči and refers to the hiking trail “Along the Trails of the Communal Vineyard Cottage of Drašiči”. The 217-kilometer Obkolpski brevet passes through Drašiči on its final section from Metlika to Semič. This brevet can be ridden either as an organized event or independently.

Churches and Landscape

In Vidošiči, St. Anne’s Church stands on a hill above the village and is surrounded by vineyards. It offers a beautiful viewpoint all year round. The vineyards around Drašiči thus complement the trails, churches, and elevated viewpoints in the immediate surroundings with additional, specific landscape features.

When planning a stay around Drašiči, the choice of a holiday apartment can be considered separately from the destinations and experiences described above. When comparing offers, visitors can look at the exact location, type of accommodation, and possible occupancy on the respective offer page. The included services, individual price components, and booking and cancellation conditions are equally important. These fields help assess the differences between individual offers objectively, without inferring anything about an accommodation from vineyards, trails, churches, or tastings. This keeps the destination description independent, while the specific holiday apartment is considered according to its own terms and conditions.
