51st Festival of Refosco and Slovenian Istria: intertwining tradition and youth
It’s time for a new edition of the Festival of Refosco and Slovenian Istria (50 +1), which this year will bring some novelties and set new trends.
The three-day festival will appeal to different generations with a variety of interesting programmes:
– Friday will be dedicated to the professional public, winemakers and wine connoisseurs,
– Saturday will be dedicated to young people and will encourage socialising and learning about wine drinking culture,
– Sunday will be dedicated to families, with an emphasis on spending time together and learning about Istrian games.
In parallel, on all three days, a tasting of the prized wines of the Refosco variety and a “Gourmet Festival” of Istrian dishes will take place on the Marezige panoramic platform.
There will also be a great musical atmosphere!
Welcome to the beautiful panoramic platform in Marezige!
