The event is held in the unique wine square in our country – Graševina Square in the presence of several thousand people. The event starts with the lighting of the „vincelovska fire“ around which visitors traditionally bake the famous „vincelovski spit“.

From their wine cellars, wine makers arrange a wide variety of wines from Kutjevo vineyards. Apart from the wines, there is a rich gastronomic display as well as ethnic handicrafts and gold embroidery, while experts from Adriatic countries prepare seafood for every visitor.

Throw in the top-class entertainment for all lovers of folklore, tambura and pop, brass music, song and dance long into the night, and everything is conducted with spicy, unforgettable good humour.
