This year’s edition of the Via Vino Festival brings an actual explosion of fun, lasting from midday until late evening. A trio of popular DJs – Mirzaisfab, Oysha and Leggero – will create an energetic atmosphere perfectly matched with the relaxed wine offerings. While top-quality wines delight the palate, the renowned pizza master “The Pizza Whisperer” will ensure a memorable gastronomic experience. From classic flavours to creative combinations, every slice will pair flawlessly with the festival’s selected wines.
“The Via Vino Festival attracts more visitors each year, and we are delighted that this strong attendance allows us to promote the InterWine project, of which we are extremely proud. This EU project fits perfectly with the festival’s philosophy, connecting us with our Slovenian partners in a shared vision of sustainable wine tourism that honours tradition while looking to the future. Through the ‘One Wine Story’ panel, we demonstrate that oenological culture and wine heritage can serve as a bridge between countries, cultures and generations,” said Ivana Alilović, Director of the Zagreb County Tourist Board.
“One Wine Story“One Wine Story” – a Cross-Border Tale of Wine and Heritage
A special part of the programme is the panel discussion “One Wine Story – Croatia and Slovenia Raise a Toast to the Same Tale,” which will take place from 10:00 to 12:00. Panellists include Petra Boić Petrač (WWF Adria), Saša Štula (Dobra Berba), Vlado Mikulčić (Winegrowers’ and Winemakers’ Association ‘Grozd’ – Velika Gorica), Katja Pinterič (Pinterič Wines), Filip Bernardić (Municipality of Pušća) and Andreja Mihelin (Mihelin Winery). The discussion will be moderated by Ivana Alilović (Zagreb County Tourist Board). This panel is part of the InterWine EU project, co-financed by the Interreg Slovenia–Croatia programme with support from the European Regional Development Fund. InterWine is an ambitious initiative selected as one of only six successful projects out of 73 applicants, aiming to strengthen the role of culture and sustainable tourism by developing a new joint tourism product that connects the cultural heritage and winemaking traditions of Croatia and Slovenia.
This year’s festival also introduces a refreshed visual identity that reflects values of sustainability and regenerative tourism in a modern, contemporary style. The event is open to all lovers of wine, great food and quality entertainment. With ten hours of continuous programming, the Via Vino Festival stands out as one of the most attractive events of this autumn in Zagreb County.
