13th Olive Oil and Wine Festival in Šempas

Every spring, the postcard-perfect village of Šempas, a wine-growing village tucked away in the Vipava Valley, plays host to the traditional Olive Oil and Wine Festival. The festival’s aim is to introduce domestic, domesticated or indigenous wine varieties and olive oils. The event is annually attended by more than 70 winemakers from all three Slovenian winegrowing regions and from abroad, presenting their finest wines to the public.

The festive atmosphere in the Šempas Cultural Centre is enriched with expert papers, workshops and guided wine tastings. In addition to tasting wines, visitors can also sample the exhibited olive oils. The festival is famous for its pleasant, relaxed atmosphere which attracts throngs of visitors. Apart from winemakers and olive oil producers, the festival also attracts sommeliers, caterers, experts from the field of oenology and gastronomy, as well as anyone keen on savouring the energy of flavours.
