What You’ll Experience

From there, we’ll take a short five-minute stroll to our culinary studio, where everything will be set for an unforgettable culinary adventure. Guided by culinary expert, you’ll prepare three traditional Croatian dishes—an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert—each representing a different region of the country. Once the cooking is done, you’ll sit back and savor your freshly prepared dishes, perfectly paired with authentic Croatian wine.
