SAVOR & SIP

An ancient intersection of culinary history where a blend of east meets west flavors amplifies a bounty birthed from a diverse terrain and generous Adriatic sea. Seasoned by centuries of civilization, from Greek and Roman to Slavic and Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman to Austro-Hungarian, Croatia’s table is a feast of regional delights to be savored in classical konobe (taverns) and Michelin-starred kitchens. A land whose cup overflows with winemaking roots of Ancient Greek origin, where indigenous varieties like Babić, Pošip and Plavac Mali sing the song of their singular microclimates and age-old vines. From the sun kissed seafood triumphs of Dalmatia and the Central European influenced dishes of its hearty interior, to the pasta, truffles and shellfish stews of Italian influenced Istria, Croatian cuisine reflects a tantalizing tradition of terroir to table.
