Recent years have seen lesser-known vineyards produce outstanding vintages that are redrawing the wine map. CNN Travel has published a list of 11 beautiful wine regions to be discovered, among which also the Brda region.

"The 72-square-kilometer (28 mile) wine region of Brda sits along the Italian border and has been described as a "mini Tuscany" -- even the cuisine is influenced by Italy. An hour's drive from Ljubljana, most of the vineyards are small, family-run operations, and almost all offer some combination of wine tastings, tours, meals, accommodation and wine sales. Best way to experience Brda? A slow, multicourse meal on a terrace overlooking the vineyards." wrote CNN Travel.
