-
The Orange Wine Festival® is an extensive presentation of sustainably produced white macerated (orange) wines. Over the past decade the festival in Izola (Slovenia) and Vienna (Austria) has followed and generated the development and growing interest in orange wines. Along with Georgia, the ancestral home of wines, the North Adriatic and Central Europe is one of the most important areas of wine production. The Orange Wine Festival will outline trends in production in this niche of winemaking, that are both an important indicator for sustainable production as well as for attracting new wine lovers who are committed to sustainable wines.
