One of the oldest festivals in Istria with a hundred year old tradition, used to mark the beginning of grape picking season. This year's celebration starts on Friday evening with open wine cellars in the old town nucleus. Everyone will be able to take their pick among various three-day events comprising numerous sports, cultural and entertainment programmes. The most attractive events are the string of allegoric carriages of winemakers from Buje, the funny donkey race and barefoot women pressing grapes in a special barrel. Together with tasting must, you will see how must used to be transported on the old Istrian cart and taken to wine cellars for further processing.
