Wine and Gastronomy Festival Okusi Vipavske

Display of Authentic Regional Delicacies

Taking place in mid-May, when the darling buds of May are in full bloom, the Festival Okusi Vipavske (Flavours of the Vipava Valley Festival), set right at the heart of the Valley, pays homage to the locally grown and produced wine and food. This traditional event draws the finest winemakers, fruit and vegetable growers, and creators of unique flavours which are thought to be the most representative of the Vipava Valley.

A novelty of this year's edition are the activities related to the first European Ice Cream Route, which is being developed as part of the GELATOn the ROAD project

During the two festival days, visitors will be able to enjoy tastings of premium Vipava wines and sample local culinary delights. The Vipava Market will also offer a wide selection of local producers. The program will be enriched by culinary workshops, and on Sunday, there will be a live recording of the podcast Sweet and Sour World with Grega Repovž.
Monday is dedicated especially to professionals, featuring a blind wine tasting led by Robert Gorjak.

The Month of Local Cuisine (Kulinarični mesec) is a staple of the annual Okusi Vipavske main event, with ample opportunity for culinary delights.

The Festival Okusi Vipavske is organised by the Regional Development Agency ROD from Ajdovščina in cooperation with local winemakers.
