It is a long standing tradition on the 14th of February for all the Macedonian wineries and grape producers to celebrate Saint Trifun who is the celebrated saint protector of the vineyards and winemakers.
Stobi always holds a big festive celebration on this day and this year there where more than 1500 people present at the event on which gests from the diplomatic core, business community, clients and friends were invited to start the official pruning in front of the winery. As the pruning commenced, the entire Stobi team wished for a good year and harvest. In line with tradition a priest made a prayer in front of the gathering and was the first person to make the symbolical pruning. The owner, with his family, also did some pruning wishing for a successful year. Later, during the annual celebration, guests where entertained by a string sextet; a very well-known ethno band called Ljubojna. There was also a tasting zone created for guests to taste wines from the Private Reserve line.
