The Victoria Local Council have announced an agreement with Marsovin to organise a wine festival on the Cittadella bastions and on the 29th of August Marsovin will be holding the first edition of the Marsovin Gozo Summer Wine Festival.

The Victoria Local Council said it is a priority to give a new lease of life to the Citadel by organising activities that inject life in this unique gem on Gozo. The Marsovin Summer Wine Festival shows that Marsovin are up to the challenge of giving life to historic places and the one previously organised in Malta confirms this.

The concept of the event is similar to the larger event organised in Malta and the aim is not only to promote Marsovin’s wines but also to present a cultural event tied to a Mediterranean theme. The Citadel will be split into two sections representing Malta and Morocco, each section will host its own musicians playing and performing typical music from each respective country.

Marsovin Summer Wine festival is set to be a wine festival with a difference, the location alone lends itself perfectly to a walk through the Citadel Wine Festival. The event will be a smaller version of the Marsovin Summer Wine Festival in Malta, though still well planned and hosting two of Malta’s favourite entertainers, Shanti Beat playing tribal music and Scream Daisy unplugged.

During the event Marsovin will be promoting its new range of wines, The Caravaggio, all of which have been produced from grapes grown in Malta and its Gozitan range of wines Odyssey, Ulysses and Antonin Blanc.

Each person who attends the festival will pay a €5 entrance fee, for which they will receive a wine glass to keep after the event as well as a €2 token which could be redeemed for a glass of wine. Then wine can be purchased using a token system – a 185ml glass of wine will cost from €2 to €4 depending on the wine and food will range from €6 to €9.

Doors open at 7pm and close at 12am. A park and ride facility has been organised from the Victoria Bus terminus to the Citadel from 6pm onwards.

The Victoria Local Council said it will do its utmost to ensure that this festival is organised on a yearly basis as part of its calendar of activities for the Citadel and Victoria. The event is supported by the Ministry for Gozo and the Victoria Local Council.

Finally the Victoria Local Council said it would like to thank Marsovin for understanding the potential the Citadel offers and for agreeing to organise this event, with special thanks to the Ministry for Gozo for their support with this event.
