At the very start of the year, wine lovers from Serbia mark the second Saturday of November in their calendar, because that date is reserved for the festival which most wine-makers will gladly and with a lot of emotions call "their favourite one" . The festival is held under the motto "It's time for wine, let's drink local".Indeed, this is a festival organized by wine-makers for wine-makers. Organizers are Lazarevac Municipality and the Association of Vinegrowers and Wine-makers of Serbia VIVIS, following an initiative taken by Association of vinegrowers and wine-makers "Zeoke vineyards". This is a rare example of a non-profit event which is not organized by marketing agencies, but by the wine-makers themselves. The goal is to provide opportunity for small wine-makers  and those who just start development and growth to present themselves to wine lovers and the media without much investment.

This year again, the best poem about wine will be chosen, whilst the central topic of this year's festival is a promotion of Liturgical wine produced by the Orthodox Church of Lazarevac. More than 40 wineries will take part in the festival. The festival is held in the old sports hall of Sports Centre Kolubara in Lazarevac (address: Slobodana Kozareva 1) in the period between 12h and 20h. Free entrance.
