The celebration will be enriched by the presence of wine queens and folklorists, peasant women and representatives of the rafters and wine orders and fraternities.

The St. Martins day on the 11th of November is the greatest feast of winegrowers and winemakers. It is an autumn Thanksgiving Day of pre-Christian origin, and is celebrated almost everywhere in Slovenia.

According to legend at the time of St. Martin autumn carnival grape juice turns into wine. On this day pastors prepared ritual festivities in the past to thank for the foraging success and blessing.
