What You’ll Experience

This is a unique opportunity to explore traditional culture and cuisine. Mirko and Sasha would like to invite you into their sea view home for a multi-course meal on the island of Korcula. All the ingredients used for the meal are fresh and seasonal and most of the vegetables and herbs are grown in their backyard. Even the olive oil, liquors and wine are all homemade. Join Mirko and Sasha on their home terrace with beautiful views of the sea which looks toward the island of Hvar and Pelješac, to enjoy Klapa music and a home cooked Mediterranean meal. A few dishes that you might try are anchovy with capers in olive oil and wine-vinegar served with a caprese salad, pasta with homemade basil pesto or tomato salsa, sprinkled with parmesan and fresh gilt-head bream, that you can help Mirko grill – he will be sharing his secrets for good fish grilling which took him years to perfect. End your meal with dessert such as carrot cake or apple pie or tiramisu.
