Refosco Wine Festival

17. - 19. MAJ 2019

Marezige | Istria (Western Slovenia)

The Slovenian Istria is also known as the Land of Refosco. It is the home of an indigenous variety of grape, grown by winemakers throughout the region and used to make the characteristic Refosco wine. The Refosco Festival sees the producers of this popular wine come together in Marezige, where they hold a wine tasting and competition.

The Refosco wine festival is one of the oldest wine events in Slovenia, which is slowly but persistently raising in popularity. It is dedicated to Refosco – an indigenous dark-skinned grape variety and local Refosco wines, but as it is usually the case with Slovenian wine events, is not all about the wine. You might get pleasantly surprised by other local products and cultural heritage of Istrian countryside.
