In the heart of Ilok, in the magical location of Principovac, on October 11, 2024, the Danube Wine Festival will take place, an event that brings a premium experience for all wine and gastronomy lovers. This boutique festival is organized by the regional association of winemakers Graševina Croatica, in collaboration with the Tourist Board of Vukovar-Srijem County, and visitors will have the opportunity to taste wines from the region, as well as from neighboring countries. The festival is designed as a celebration of the best varieties from the vineyards of Slavonia and the Croatian Danube region, offering a unique opportunity to enjoy a rich enogastronomic program.

The program starts at 4 PM and offers an extraordinary combination of wine and food, which is sure to satisfy even the most demanding palates. On the showcooking stage, top chefs Ivan Đukić, Saša Vojnović, and Igor Vlatković will prepare creative dishes that perfectly complement the offered wines. This interactive component of the festival allows visitors not only to enjoy the flavors but also to learn firsthand the secrets of pairing wine and food and to acquire new culinary skills.

The festival aims to connect wine lovers, professionals from the hospitality industry, and all those who want to expand their knowledge of wine culture. Alongside wine and gastronomic experiences, the organizers have prepared a music program. The Osijek singer-songwriter Nera Mamić will further enhance the atmosphere with her performances accompanied by musicians, creating the perfect ambiance for the overall experience.

Additionally, the Danube Wine Festival emphasizes the importance of local production and promoting domestic winemakers, who breathe life into the region with their hard work and innovative approaches. Wines from this area are known for their uniqueness and quality, and the festival offers the opportunity for these wines to be presented to a wider audience, including visitors from abroad.

One of the most interesting aspects of the festival is its international dimension, as alongside local winemakers, exhibitors from other countries will participate. This promotes cooperation and exchange of experiences among winemakers from different regions, which further contributes to the quality and diversity of the offer. Visitors will be able to enjoy wines that are not commonly found on the Croatian market, providing them with an exclusive opportunity for new experiences and the discovery of new flavors.
