The [[Days of Poetry and Wine Medana]] Festival in Goriška Brda next to the Italian border was initiated in 1998 by the Študentska založba Publishing House, turning the small village of Medana into the poetry capital of Europe for a week. The festival hosts the younger generation of poets from European countries. As well as examining the crossing points between poetry and other art forms, the festival features numerous concerts, a selection of Slovene recent films and discussions between authors and local and international publishers on the topic of engaged poetry. There are also choreographic shows, street theatre, a Saturday programme for children, visual and spatial interventions, and wine tasting. A genuine contact has been established between the locals and their guests as full board and private lodging is provided for all guests, along with the expenses relating to the programme (only travel expenses to Ljubljana should be covered by participants).

The Days of Poetry and Wine is a festival that hosts the younger generation of poets from all over the world. It takes place in Medana (a village in Goriška Brda next to the Italian border) during the last week in August, basically turning the village into the poetry capital of Europe for a week.


The festival was initiated in 1998 by the Študentska založba Publishing House, Ljubljana. In the recent years it has been expanded to offer more than just poetry and wine: it features numerous concerts, a selection of recent Slovene films, choreographic shows, street theatre, visual and spatial interventions, a programme for children ... One of its goals is examining crossing points between poetry and other art forms and providing an opportunity for discussions between authors and local and international publishers on different topics.

The festival has seen some notable guests in the recent years: in 2009 it was attended by Rumen Leonidov from Bulgaria and Durs Grünbein from Germany. In 2008 other poets were joined by Lars Gustafsson from Sweden and Paul Muldoon from Ireland (all of which are regarded as modern poetry classics). Študentska založba also took this opportunity to publish collections of their poetry.

Before the official start of the festival in Medana, the poets take part in an event named Medana before Medana and present their work in other towns all over the country. In 2009 they had poetry readings in Ljubljana, Ptuj, Padna, Vrba, Volče and Krško.

A comprehensive multilingual volume of participants' poetry and a special festival bottling of vintage wines accompanies each festival. The poems are presented on the festival website.

The event has had many sponsors in recent years, including Študentska založba Publishing House, the Brda Community, the Ministry of Culture and winegrowers from Medana. A genuine contact has been established between the locals and their guests as full board and private lodging is provided for all guests, along with the expenses relating to the programme (only travel expenses to Ljubljana should be covered by participants).
