Najboljši pesniki in umetniki z vsega sveta, vinski oltar, ki ponuja najboljša vina štajerske vinorodne regije, očarljivo staro mestno jedro Ptuja preoblečeno v verze in umetniške instalacije ter zadnji topli poletni večeri tik preden se življenje povrne v ustaljene jesenske tirnice so recept za nepozabno doživetje, ki ga vsako leto zadnji teden avgusta prikličejo Dnevi poezije in vina. Vsi festi
valski dogodki potekajo v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku, zato so si Dnevi poezije in vina z leti pridobili zvesto domače in tuje občinstvo. Festival mesto spremeni v prestolnico poezije, kjer se srečujejo ljudje najrazličnejših profilov in zanimanj ter najdejo nove navdihe, ideje in priložnosti za sodelovanja. Od leta 2014 so Dnevi poezije in vina del evropske pesniške platforme Versopolis, ki na mednarodnem nivoju skrbi za promocijo poezije. V njenem okviru na festivalu gostujejo obetavni pesniki iz različnih evropskih držav, ki dobijo priložnost, da nastopijo ob boku uveljavljenim pesnikom z vsega sveta. Festival ne pozabi na nikogar in prinaša nekaj za vsakogar – otroke in odrasle, domačine in obiskovalce iz tujine, ljubitelje umetnosti, glasbe, poezije, fotografije, žlahtne kapljice in prijetnega druženja na skritih ptujskih vrtovih, dvoriščih in drugih kotičkih ter na velikem odru pod ptujskim nebom. Štirje dnevi, ki nikogar ne pustijo ravnodušnega, festival, ki ostane vsakomur v spominu. Vsi festivalski dogodki so brezplačni.

The best poets and artists from around the world, wine altar offering the best wines of Štajerska wine region, the charming oldtown of Ptuj dressed in verses and art installations, the last warm summer evenings before life settles back into autumn routine – all this is a recipe for an unforgetable experience called Days of Poetry and Wine festival, which takes place every last week of August. Since all festival events are held in Slovene and English language Days of Poetry and Wine have faithful audience from Slovenia and abroad. The festival turns the town into a capital of poetry, where people of diverse profiles and interests meet and find new inspiration, ideas and opportunities for cooperation. In the frame of Versopolis emerging poets from different European countries perform at the festival side-by-side with acknowledged poets from around the world. The festival forgets about no one and brings something for everyone – children and adults, locals and visitors from abroad, lovers of poetry, art, music, photography, good wine and good company at hidden gardens, backyards and other nooks and crannies of Ptuj, as well as on the main stage underneath the Ptuj sky. Four days which leave no one indifferent, a festival to be remembered. All festival events are free of charge.
