Wine / Oenology / Viticulture / Local festival in Szekszárd, Hungary
Hungarian term or phrase: Kékfrankos találkozó/fesztivál
I would like an English name/equivalent. I undertand that it is called "Blaufränkisch Meeting/Get-together" but I was wondering if there is better way to say it in English. Thank you!

Explanation:
I doubt that much improvement can be made but never say never... I know that wine sellers in the US use the German word for Kékfrankos, as your translation does, and although the meeting and get-together could be replaced with Fest (Blaufränkisch Fest) as in Oktoberfest, that would only further accentuate the German connection at the expense of the Hungarian. Festival and gathering could be better perhaps but that is a matter of taste.
