Each autumn, the Slovenian village of Bohinjska Bistrica celebrates its mountain dairy heritage with a festival of cheese and wine.

Media proof note
The Cheese and Wine Festival record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.

Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
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.
