You are invited to attend the “Vineyard Picnic” event (Hungary) on Saturday, 24 September 2022 in the framework of the European Cooperation Day (EC Day) 2022. The event is organized by the Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy in the framework of the cross-border cooperation programme Interreg V-A Slovenia-Hungary in cooperation with the project Wine picnic. 

At the event a welcome speech will be delivered by Dr. Aleksander Jevšek, Minister of the Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy, Tanja Rener, Head of Managing Authority of the Interreg V-A Slovenia-Hungary Cooperation Programme as well as József Baracskai, the Mayor of the City of Zalaszentgrót. The Wine picnic project will be presented by István Martincsevics, President of the Zalai Borút Egyesület (Zala Wine Route Association).

During the 6 km long tour we will become familiar with the project and its results, we will visit four wine cellars, taste some local wines and get to know some local products. After lunch participants may enjoy and choose from a colourful variety of cultural programmes.

The event is free for the participants. Thanks to the organisers, bus transport from Slovenia will be guaranteed, the hike will be accompanied and food will be provided on the bus and during the hike as well, so you only have to bring your good mood!
