When
St Martin's Festival in the Karst 2025 celebrates its 10th anniversary by building on the much-loved tradition of open cellars and events in the cross-border area with exciting new experiences!
From 6 to 16 November 2025, you are invited to the Karst: to explore a magical autumn-coloured landscape, boutique events and unforgettable experiences.
St Martin's Festival in the Karst will culminate on Saturday, 8 November, when the winemakers along the Karst Wine Route will beckon you to their open wine cellars, all conveniently connected by a free shuttle bus service. St Martin's Saturday in Sežana will feature a rich St Martin's market with local delicacies, while the St Martin's Day celebration in the main village square in Dutovlje and Pliskovica will offer not only excellent wine, but also local dishes. Among the festival venues, make sure to visit Gorjansko, where a rich and vibrant programme awaits once again this year. The Wine Festival in Štanjel will be characterised by great wine and cuisine, accompanied by live music and authentic experiences in the “pearl of the Karst”. The “Farewell to Autumn in the Karst” Running Event returns this year to provide an energetic start to St Martin's Saturday and the running challenges in Lipica.
St Martin's Festival in the Karst will once again bring fun, culinary indulgence and tasting of the unique Karst wines in the cross-border Karst region.
The shuttle bus service between the open wine cellars during St Martin’s Festival in the Karst is organised as part of the KRAS-CARSO II project, which is co-financed by the Interreg V-A Italy-Slovenia Cooperation Programme 2021–2027 (European Regional Development Fund).
