Flavours of Vipava Valley – Okusi Vipavske
May 12, 2019 @ 3:00 pm - May 13, 2019 @ 9:00 pm
Flavours of the Vipava Valley, set right at the heart of the Vipava 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. Each year, the baroque Zemono Manor House, flaunting its striking exterior, becomes the venue for winemakers to proudly display the finest from their cellars. The best chefs create harmonious wine and food pairings that are considered veritable culinary coups.
The two-day affair at Zemono offers visitors premium wines and superior culinary creations, fascinating workshops and demonstrations, as well as a market of local delicacies, specialty wines from abroad, and a surprise event with chef Tomaž Kavčič.
The Festival Okusi Vipavske is organised by the Regional Development Agency ROD from Ajdovščina in cooperation with local winemakers.
