A grand celebration of wine, culture and community at Castle & Winery Taggenbrunn.

An event dedicated to exceptional wines, regional culinary experiences, and social connections.

Taggenbrunn Castle & Winery, nestled among 40 hectares of vineyards and located in the heart of the Alpe-Adria region, presents the Alpe-Adria Wine Festival & Clubbing.

In 2025, we celebrated the premiere edition and began a new annual tradition that will celebrate selected winemakers, culinary delights, in-depth experiences with wine experts and networking.

Our unique location in the heart of the Alpe-Adria region, the centuries-old history of Taggenbrunn Castle, and the special atmosphere of the town give the festival a unique character and set the stage for unforgettable moments.

One day, two chapters – from festival to clubbing

The festival is unique and diverse. It showcases outstanding winemakers from Carinthia, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, and Italy, along with their remarkable wines.

Alpe-Adria region has a rich history of viticulture and exceptional producers who are at the very top. Our aim is to bring together selected winemakers and highlight the special and unique features of our region.
Wine tastings and an engaging accompanying program by renowned wine professionals take center stage in the first half of the festival, while the second chapter (Clubbing) is dedicated to networking, live music, dancing, laughter and creating new personal and business connections.
