Guerila Estate, a biodynamic wine farm in the Vipava Valley, hosts seminars, conferences and team building for up to 100 participants in a conference hall with a view over the valley. A lounge, a tasting room and two terraces complete the event spaces, and three apartments sleep guests on site. The estate is at Planina near Ajdovščina, in western Slovenia.
Seminars and company events
The estate sells business events under its own heading, business tourism. The conference hall takes up to 100 participants and is equipped with a projector, Wi-Fi and a sound system. Tables can be arranged to suit the program, and the team works with each organizer individually. Next to the hall are a lounge, a tasting room and two terraces, which gives a group places for breaks and informal talks. Parking is free. The official site describes the setting as away from the city, among vineyards, and names seminars, conferences and team building as the intended uses.
A tasting can close the working day. Guests can taste Guerila's biodynamic wines in the cellar or in the dedicated tasting room, and can walk through the vineyards. Tastings are available for individuals and groups of up to 100 people, last up to two hours and come in packages of three, six or eight wines. Each package includes a snack of local cold cuts and cheese and a guided cellar visit that explains biodynamic production.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not offer weddings, so this page presents the estate for company and group events only. Organizers planning a private celebration can ask the estate whether a reception format is possible.
Rooms and capacities
The conference hall is the main event space, with room for up to 100 participants. The lounge and the tasting room sit alongside it, and the two terraces face the valley. The wine cellar is used for tastings and visits.
Accommodation
Three apartments, built in 2018, are named after local grape varieties: Pinela, Zelen and Rebula. Each measures 30 square meters and has a bedroom, a living area with a kitchen, a bathroom and a small terrace with a view of the Vipava Valley. Each apartment is meant for two guests, and a sofa bed in the living room lets two more people sleep there. Equipment includes a TV, Wi-Fi and a fully equipped kitchen, and a breakfast basket is included. With three apartments, the estate suits a small team or the organizing group, while a seminar of 100 needs lodging elsewhere.
Catering
The estate lists a bar, the cellar, catering and wine tastings as its food and drink offer for business events. The site does not name a kitchen team or a menu, so catering is arranged for each event. The wines come from the estate's own vineyards, planted mostly with local varieties such as Pinela, Zelen, Malvazija and Rebula.
History and setting
Zmagoslav Petrič founded Guerila in 2005 and built a modern cellar on the farm at Planina. The vineyards lie on south-facing terraces of the Vipava hills, on soils of sandstone, marl and clay of Eocene age. The estate follows biodynamic principles in the vineyard and the cellar, and its work follows the biodynamic calendar where possible. The valley view from the conference hall and the tasting room is part of what the estate offers to groups.
Getting there
The address is Planina 111, 5270 Ajdovščina, Slovenia. Free parking is available on site. The site does not give train or airport information, so organizers should plan transfers for groups and confirm the route with the estate.
