The scent of fresh bread, the sound of the accordion, homemade salami, and a glass of local wine.
ZPTM Brežice invites you to Dan kruha, vina in salam – a celebration of local flavors and collaboration among the many contributors shaping the image of Brežice’s tourism.
Also this year, Brežice will be marked by tradition, community, and authentic flavors in mid-June. On Saturday, June 14, Dan kruha, vina in salam returns to the courtyard of the Posavje Museum – an event that, year after year, confirms that “local” really counts.
The event, which brings together local winegrowing and tourism associations, will once again offer a rich program: a homemade bread baking competition, wine tastings by all six winegrowing associations, the award ceremony for the winners of the 2025 Mayor’s Wine, homemade salami tasting, and a diverse accompanying program.
The event carries an important message: the preservation of local identity through cuisine, intergenerational connection, and a commitment to sustainability. For this reason, Dan kruha, vina in salam is a proud holder of the Brežice Selection collective brand certificate, and in 2023, the global organization Green Destinations included it among the Top 100 sustainable stories in the world.
Tickets are already available: eventim.si and at the info point of the Brežice Youth Center.
