Traditional and agreeable labour when family members, invited guests and groups of tourists gather in Haloze and Slovenske Gorice. Traditionally, men busy themselves with preparing baskets to put grapes in, a wine press and barrels in which sweet grape-must will be poured. At the same time, women prepare a feast where home-made bread and "potica (cake) are never missed out. Merry singing comes from vineyards during the grape harvest, thus creating a pleasant atmosphere. Basket-carriers bring the harvested grapes to the press from which flows sweet must that turns into wine after a while. The labour in vineyards ends in the autumn, and starts again once the winter is over.
