Wine Resort Luisa

In the heart of Collio, among gentle hills just steps from the Slovenian border, this restaurant stands as a true gastronomic ambassador of the territory, celebrating tradition with consistency and warm hospitality in relaxing surroundings where time seems to slow down. The menu embraces the most authentic cuisine – the zlikrofi, potato-and-chive-filled tortelli served with pan juices and shavings of aged Montasio are emblematic – alongside more contemporary interpretations, such as an elegant, restrained squab presented in two services.

Located in a 16th-century castle in Ceglo, in the heart of the Brda wine region, this restaurant offers breathtaking views of the stunning surrounding vineyards, which are particularly beautiful in autumn. The contemporary and delicious cuisine is showcased through a small selection of carefully chosen dishes, which can be combined into 3, 5, 7 or 9-course menus. The most memorable dishes include porcini mushroom ravioli with sweet and sour chanterelles and mushroom cream, and those with a sweet tooth can enjoy an amazing date cake with salted caramel and ricotta ice cream.

The catch, which is among the finest on the market, yields the most delicious dishes: the fish soup with shellfish, enveloped in a Buzara jus that releases intense flavours, is an absolute must. The wine cellar, with a selection of 25,000 bottles, takes you on a journey through the Collio and Colli Orientali hills, enriched by great Italian and international labels and big bottles for real winelovers.
