November 8-9, in the courtyards of the Primate's Palace and the surrounding courtyards.
Bratislava continues the long-standing tradition of presenting and tasting young wine, building on the St. Martin's Day celebrations which are popular here in Slovakia and many other parts of Europe. The feast of St. Martin has been associated with the wine tradition since the days of Austria-Hungary.
The event will showcase regional wines and an exciting lineup of activities, such as quizzes, talks on viticulture, and live concerts. The celebrations will extend to multiple locations across the city, including St. George’s Courtyard, the Old Town Hall, and the Apponyi Palace, along with a unique walking tour of the Museum of Viticulture.
