25.05. (10.00h - 18.00h)
Each year, on the last Sunday in May, the World Wine Day is marked. In 1999 Istrian winemakers also began marking this day.
Should you stop that day at one of the famous wine cellars, along with good wine, kind Istrian hosts await you, and after a few glasses of wine perhaps you’ll even be offered a bottle of wine that was waiting there for a special occasion.

The Open cellars day The initiative was launched because no one of the responsible persons or institutions in wine tourism recognized the great potential that was delineating. Apart few exceptions, most of the wine cellars in Italy weren’t accessible to tourists. Today, the President of the Association says; Nobody believed in the Wine day project, so only the Tuscan vintners joined, mostly for friendly reasons, and not because they really believed that it was a potentially worthily project. In the contrary, already in the first year a great affluence of visitors was registered to almost one hundred vintners that joined the initiative.
Goriška brda (Slovenia) and Istria (Croatia) joined the project in 1999 for the first time when the whole project reached over 1.000 wine cellars in the world. After the successful first edition in 1999 with 37 wine cellars and about 800 visitors, during the last edition 2006 there were 80 wine cellars that registered an affluence of over 11.000 visitors.
