Long ago, back in 1857, the first wine exhibition was held in Vršac in the inn  " At  Two Keys". A long period of time has passed since then, but year after year,  inhabitants of Vršac are trying to renew the old tradition. For 7th year in a row, wine festival VINOFEST is taking place in Vršac. This event brings together not only wine-makers and wine-growers, but also producers and distributors of vineyard & winery tools and equipment.

This year, VINOFEST was held on 23rd and 24th March. All those who decided to visit this festival could visit stalls of not only Serbian wine-makers, but also wine-makers from Hungary, Montenegro.

The festival is also a wine contest. Professional jury  rated exhibited wines. Every year, Vršac Municipality will buy supplies of winning wine, so it will be served on all official receptions and events organized by the local authorities. Interested wine-makers could register their wine for the contest in the Tourist Organization of Vršac. Registration fee amounted to 2,000.00 RSD. Exhibited wines competed for the Grand Gold Medal and the Gold Medal for quality. At this year's contest, Marinković winery simply excelled in quality.

VINOFEST festival is organized under the auspices of Vršac Municipality and the Tourist Organization of Vršac.

The festival was held in Vršac, at the Hotel "Serbia", St. Sava's Square No. 12.

Opening ceremony of the festival began at 12h on 23rd March, 2012. The Festival was open for visitors each day until 19h.

Entrance fee, i.e. a glass for tastings, is 200 RSD.
