Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or a novice (who wants to learn more!), this event is for you. Wine Fest will be the perfect mix of good company and a great atmosphere…and excellent wines too, of course! It’s also a wonderful way to celebrate the start of summer.

Bring your family and friends! Admission to Wine Fest 2025 is free.

About Vina Kos

A family-run winery that was established over 100 years ago – in 1906, no less – Vina Kos is based in the village of Hrnjanec, a location that is known for its mild climate and wine-growing tradition. The winery was founded by Juraj Kos, who constructed the first three wooden wine barrels – unaware that he would be laying the foundations for what is now five generations of winemakers in the family.

These days, the entire Kos family is involved in wine production, ensuring both the wine and the vineyards are nurtured with the utmost care – making wine cultivation something the family is very proud of.

There’s no doubt that Vina Kos has a long-standing wine tradition; however, the winery also embraces innovation and modern trends in winemaking. Their wines have been recognised on the international scene, with the Kraljevina and Anita sparkling wines winning bronze medals at the 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards, and the Pinot Noir winning silver in 2020.

Vina Kos Winery underwent a full renovation recently and was awarded the BIG SEE Interior Design Award 2025. The stunningly designed, modern tasting room is an exquisite place to undertake guided tastings, which see each wine paired with selected local and seasonal snacks. You’ll receive a full gastronomic experience here!
