Asparagus Festival and Food Show

Cooking with asparagus is very popular in Prekmurje as well, therefore, in Dolga vas the Asparagus Festival and Food Show is organised annually, thus we can already refer to it as a traditional event. The open kitchen, the locally grown wine, the food tasting and colourful cultural programme draw many visitors from both near and far.

The main objective of this festival is to bring this not so popular vegetable to mainstream cooking by offering tasty dishes made with asparagus. Visitors are offered various dishes such as risotto with shrimps and asparagus, grilled salmon with lemon sauce and asparagus and new potatoes, gnocchi with asparagus and prosciutto, along with many other tasty dishes.

The open kitchen event is seasoned with an interesting cultural programme and fresh asparagus produced by local growers.
