Cheese and Wine FestivalPraznik sira in vina

Annual autumn festival (late October) in the village of Bohinjska Bistrica celebrating Bohinj’s long cheese-making tradition alongside local wine. Visitors sample high-altitude alpine cheeses ripened on nearby pastures and a selection of Slovenian wines in a market setting overseen by the Bohinj tourist board 1 2. The event includes storytelling by cheese makers and local musicians (collected under folklore groups), along with stalls of 'local choice' products.

Bohinj has a centuries-old dairying culture (planšarstvo), and this festival is a modern way to highlight the products (e.g. Bohinjska skuta or cheese from Planica). It brings together farmers, vintners, and chefs to emphasize regional food identity and support local economy 1.
