Osijek in January. Slavonian hospitality at its finest. Why aren’t you here?
All roads lead to Slavonia this weekend, as the 8th edition of WineOS Osijek Wine Festival takes place – a wonderful mix of fine Slavonian (and other wines), Slavonian hospitality, and the heart of a Slavonian winter.
As with last year, it promises to be a fine event of quality wine and good company, which I will be visiting in the company of the one and only legendary Ribafish. I only hope he behaves a little better this year…
More information about the event from Vinoteka Vinita, translated below.
At the beginning of the new year, 2023, a new, eighth edition of the famous Osijek fair of wine, delicacies and hedonism is being organized. On January 13 and 14 (Friday and Saturday), the eighth wine and delicacy fair – WineOS will be held in the Gradski vrt hall, at Kneza Trpimira 23, Osijek.
Both days offer moments of pleasant living, top wines and delicacies from the east of Croatia, and the opportunity to meet numerous guests from other Croatian regions and abroad in almost 1,900 square meters of exhibition space.
Also, guests will have the opportunity to visit around 90 exhibition stands where more than a hundred producers will be presented, and those interested will be able to attend educational workshops that will repeatedly offer unusual stories and rarely available wines.
