Events The event Vinska vigred is taking place
every year on the third weekend in May in the old town core of Metlika, which
consists of squares Mestni trg, Trg svobode and Partizanski trg. Each location
has its own stage, which hosts a rich cultural programme and ensures a vibrant
and relaxing evening. The event represents the greatest viticultural tourist
manifestation in Slovenia. “Vinska vigred” among other things also offers wine
tastings of prized wines on different stalls and in the castle cellar (wine testing
takes place in April), various exhibitions, performances of numerous folkore
groups, singing groups and bands. Members of the Rural Women Association prepare
an exhibition of culinary jewels and bake the flat cake “belokranjska pogača”every
day of the event. Of course, you can also have a taste of other local culinary
specialities (roasted lambs and suckling pigs). The castle yard offers home cottage
industry and artistic products. One can also visit the Belokranjski museum, Slovene
Firebrigade Museum, Kambič Gallery, wine cellar and shops Beti and Komet. There
is also a fun fair behind the castle for the young ones.
