Family experiences

An exceptional natural environment provides the already forgotten peace that we can share with our dearest. The richness of plants and a tender, musical scenery, enlivened by a number of birds, represents an excellent environment for spending quality, creative time.

To many children, contact with horses means a new point of view of the world. In the modern stables, they can learn the basic skills of handling a horse.

Six mountain bikes (also with children's seats, if required) take you along the fairytale paths of wonderful Dolenjska.

PICNICS

For a unforgettable, carefree day in a large meadow where you will spend happy hours without any disturbance, we will provide a picnic basket with special treats for the youngest as well as for the little bit older. If required, we will add cold drinks, a delicious cake … and a blanket from the estate will provide for a soft landing in the grass.
 

CUISINE AND ENOLOGY

Deep and fertile soil provides a bosom for the vines of Blue Frankish and Velvet Black, as well as for their white counterparts -Welsh Riesling, Kerner, Pinot Blanc, and Sipon. The right proportions of white and red varieties, raised in a marl soil, give the characteristic Cvicek, accompanied in the cellars by Dolenjsko Belo white wine.

In the surroundings of the Pule Estate, there are always plenty of culinary experiences. Travellers are attracted by the characteristic Slovenian taverns, delighting in the cuisine and selected wines. Farm feasts, domestic wines, juices and spirits complete excursions into the surroundings of the Pule Estate.
