Villány is preparing to Vince-day

Vince Day in January is the most significant event in the Villány region, where serious and wide range of programs will be presented.

In 2015 visitors may raise their glass to toast in eight settlements of the Villány wine region. In addition, several programs will be available on the hillside of the region. In the early period of the year Villány will offer serious programs to tourists visiting the region.

In the morning visitors may taste – as part of the Barrel Vince (Hordós Vince) Program – wines still in the barrels, which have not been released for distribution. In the following, we may select from three Hillside Walks (Dűlőjáró Vince). Buses will transport interested parties to local settlements, where sumptuous breakfast, fine wines and many funny games will be available. In the evening – after the whole day walking – 9 cellars will offer diners as part of the Diner Vince (Vacsorázó Vince) Program.

Anybody who will meet winemakers from Villány on 24 January 2015 will enjoy an exciting and happy time – we can promise that.

The tradition of Saint Vince (Szent Vince) was initiated from Drávaszög, one of the settlements in the region. Owners on vineyards forecast the harvest from the weather on Vince Day and from the condition of cut vine shoots (“Vince vesszők”). Following the tradition, winemakers visited each-other’s cellars, tasted each-other’s wines and drank/sang to the success of the harvest.
