A local winter festival in northern Mitrovica celebrating St. Tryphon’s Wine Day. Held annually in mid-February, it features local wineries and distilleries offering tastings of award-winning wines and brandies. The event is both a social gathering of producers and a homage to the vine-growing tradition of the Serbian communities in Kosovo 1.
Wine Day (Trifun’s Day) is a traditional Orthodox celebration of vineyards. In this event, local Serb winegrowers from Župa and Zvečan showcase their produce. It reinforces an old custom of tying the harvest cycle to the saints’ feast day 1.
