BRDA & WINE - April 25, 2026

The presentation of local and guest restaurants with live cooking, relaxed socialising with Brda winemakers, street music and a market offering local products create a unique festival atmosphere.

The spring event Brda & Wine has a long-standing tradition in the Brda region. While it was once primarily a wine event aimed at connoisseurs and wine enthusiasts, in recent years it has evolved into a diverse and comprehensive food and wine festival. It has developed both in the wine and culinary fields and has become the largest event of its kind in the wider region. Simple dishes have been replaced by original and refined plates that perfectly complement the top-quality wines of Brda.

The heart of the event is the picturesque medieval village of Šmartno, located in the geographical centre of Brda. Along the narrow streets of Šmartno, numerous local and guest restaurants present their cuisine with live cooking, accompanied by almost all Brda winemakers.

Visitors can enjoy unlimited tastings of freshly prepared dishes by culinary masters, relax in pleasant company while pairing flavours with Brda wines, and visit the market offering a rich selection of culinary and artisanal products. The stalls feature Brda honey, olive oil, dried fruit, teas, cheeses, cured meats and other boutique products.

The event is further enriched with music and an artistic touch, ensuring that a day spent enjoying excellent food, outstanding wine and great company will be engaging, flavourful and truly unforgettable.
