Vinje (pronounced [ˈʋiːnjɛ]; German: Weinthal[2]) is a dispersed settlement north of Dolsko in the Municipality of Dol pri Ljubljani in the southeastern part of the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]

Vinje was attested in historical sources as Weintal in 1439 and Weyntal in 1446.[4] The Slovenian name is probably based on the plural demonym *Vin'ane, referring to residents of a wine-producing area.[5]
