Goan Gold: Urrak and Festival [Partner Event]

April 20, 2024 - April 26, 2024

Goa, India, goan gold, Urrak and Festival

Discover the hidden gem of Goa’s rich flora—the cashew apple. Meet the local cultivators and then enjoy eating and “drinking” cashews, all the while filming this cultural phenomenon.

Explore the world of Urrak—the first distillate of the cashew apple. Different from its famous counterpart, feni, Urrak offers a milder profile with a subtle aroma and a punchy, tropical, fruity essence. “Urrak Unveiled” is your ticket not just to tasting but understanding the roots of Goa’s most beloved drink.

The Documentary:
Our documentary takes a participatory approach, inviting travellers to become integral participants in the filmmaking process. Guided by an industry expert, immerse yourself in the entire journey—from cashew apple cultivation with local farmers to the Urrak-making process. This hands-on experience provides a unique perspective as you witness and contribute to every stage of Urrak production.

What to Expect:

– Farm-to-Bottle Story: Explore the complete Urrak production chain, gaining insights into the intricacies of this local tradition.
– Local Immersion: Live, learn, and work alongside farmers, experiencing the dedication and skill involved in crafting Goa’s favorite beverage.
– Annual Urrak Festival: Join the vibrant Annual Urrak Festival, celebrating the culmination of the Urrak-making process with locals.
