Yale '91 Alumni Slovenia Adventure 2027; A Week of Wonder & Unforgettable Memories

Sep 18 - 25, 2027

WHY SLOVENIA? WHY NOW?

Imagine sipping local wine during harvest season while overlooking emerald lakes, exploring medieval castles perched on cliffsides, and sharing farm-to-table meals with your closest friends—all in one of Europe's best-kept secrets. Slovenia in September offers the perfect trifecta: ideal weather, fewer crowds, and the vibrant energy of wine harvest season. This is the moment to reconnect with your alumni community while discovering a destination that feels both accessible and genuinely extraordinary.

THE ITINERARY AT A GLANCE

Days 1–4 Ljubljana
Begin in Slovenia's charming capital with a guided city tour, wine tasting at a local producer, and evenings exploring the culinary scene alongside your group.

Day Trip: Lake Bled & Radovljica
Experience the iconic turquoise waters of Lake Bled with a private pletna boat ride to the island church. Hike the stunning Vintgar Gorge, then venture to the honey-making village of Radovljica for authentic cultural immersion.

Days 5–6: Coastal Treasures & Underground Wonders
Descend into the otherworldly Postojna Cave system, tour dramatic Predjama Castle clinging to a cliff face, then unwind in the Adriatic coastal towns of Piran and Portorož with fresh seafood and Adriatic breezes.

Day 7: Return to Ljubljana
Celebrate the week with a farewell dinner featuring Adriatic seafood before heading home with memories that will last.
