Next to films and debates, we create a space to gather, talk, enjoy, and learn about the region. Join us for a wine tour and taste quality wines from countries that are also part of the film festival. During this wine tasting you will get an impression of what the region has to offer. In addition, you will learn more about several indigenous grape varieties, still unfamiliar in the rest of Europe.

Our Eastern neighbours do not just have cinema that is growing more popular, but also a centuries-old wine culture, which is now flourishing.

Steady festival partner AndereWijn is a wine webshop stocked with many different wines from the neighbouring Eastern European countries. Every year they taste hundreds of wines, out of which they choose the best. Visit their website: anderewijn.nl
