Marsovin to take wine festival to Gozo

Marsovin is to hold the first edition of the Marsovin Gozo Summer Wine Festival inside the Citadel in Victoria, Gozo, on August 29.

The concept of the event is similar to the larger event organized in Malta. 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.

The event will be a smaller version of the Marsovin Summer Wine Festival in Malta though still well planned to host two of Malta's favourite entertainers, Shanti Beat playing tribal music and Scream Daisy unplugged.

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

There will be a €5 entrance fee.Patrons will be given a wine glass which they can keep after the event as well as a €2 token which could be redeemed for a glass of wine. A park and ride facility has been organised from the Victoria Bus terminus to the Citadel from 6pm onwards. The event is organised in conjunction with the Victoria Local Council and supported by the Ministry for Gozo.
