Visitors who wish to learn new things or perfect their skills will be able to partake in various workshops on wine, cooking and baking. There will also be sommelier courses focusing on local wines and lectures by enologists, sommeliers, authors and wine critics.

Parents with young children will also be able to enjoy this unique gastronomic journey of Croatia while their youngsters learn to cook and bake cookies under the supervision of the expert staff of the festival’s dedicated kindergarten.

Since the festival’s special focus will be on cooperation between the Croatian counties, with all the regions present, visitors will have the opportunity to discover various flavours, try autochthonous specialties, and buy something to take home, all in one place.

The Croatian Festival of Food and Wine is being organized with the backing of the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Economy, the Croatian Chamber of Economy, the Croatian County Association, the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the City of Zagreb and the Zagreb Tourist Board.
