Vinarium Festival: Bogračfest 2026

Bograč has a special place in the hearts of locals. In the old town center of Lendava, among the historic backdrop of bourgeois houses and at the foot of the picturesque Lendava vineyards, the largest bograč cooking competition in Slovenia has been taking place for almost two decades. Competing teams have been busy cooking since the morning hours with the aim of preparing the popular stew to the best of their ability. The prepared dishes are evaluated by an expert committee, which awards awards to the most successful chefs. However, the committee does not only evaluate the tastiest bograč, but also awards a special prize to the team with the most beautifully decorated competition area. The event is actually a culinary festival, where other local delicacies are also served alongside bograč: Lendava pretzels, crackling cakes, etc.

Daytime and evening entertainment is provided by the bands Blue Planet and Deja vu, as well as the star of the evening, Dražen Zečič.
