installations, a little art colony for the youngest visitors and a musicalentertainment program guarantee you will have a great time. Wine aficionados will be delighted by the 18th Wine Marathon (September 22-23, 2023) in Zmajevac, the wine capital of Baranja, and its surduci (steep, deep-cut paths in the mountain slope). The first day is reserved for the premium wine marathon, where you can, with tickets, taste premium wines, while the second day of the festival is open to the entire community. Concerts, a fair with local products, and a great selection of food is an unavoidable part of that event too. Did you know that Baranja also has its "red gold"? Get to know more about the queen of Baranja cuisine - ground paprika, and taste it at the Paprika Festival in Lug (September 30 - October 1, 2023). The largest number of red paprika producers, mostly Hungarians, live in that town in Baranja, and they will introduce you to their culture and custom. Various local products, domestic food and wine, song and dance are all an integral part of that festival too. Baranja celebrates the end of the grape harvest in a unique way. BURE Kulture - Wine Edition (October 14, 2023), will tell you the story of the oldest wine cellar in the region - the Belje wine cellar. Listen to the story as you sip superb wines that have long since won over taste buds worldwide.
