Days of Rudarska Greblica
The Cultural and Artistic Society "Oštrc" is organizing the Days of Rudarska Greblica in Rude, July 4th and 5th, 2026. Rudarska greblica is a savory cheese and walnut cake whose tradition dates back to the 19th century, when for the locals of Rude near Samobor, who worked in copper and iron mines, this cake was often the only meal during a hard day's work. In 2007, the preparation of the cake was declared an intangible cultural asset of the Republic of Croatia, and in 2021, m

Maraska and Croatian Hazelnut in an Icecream
Can a scoop of ice cream tell the story of Croatian terroir? The Makarska company Premis believes it can. Their new investment worth more than 260 thousand euros is aimed precisely at developing ice cream made from authentic domestic ingredients – Marasca cherries from the Dalmatian hinterland and Croatian hazelnuts. It is a project that could bring Croatian flavors closer not only to domestic guests, but also to buyers in the demanding markets of Germany, Austria and France.

History Walk in Bakar
Located in the deep-cut Bakar Bay, Bakar is one of the oldest towns on the Croatian coast. Its narrow streets, medieval walls, the Castle and centuries-old stone houses bear witness to a rich maritime, commercial and cultural past. That is why it is no coincidence that the first day of summer in Bakar is not only celebrated as the arrival of warmer days, but also as the return of the city to the way it once was. On the official start of summer, on Sunday 21 June, this histori

Arma(da)n of Good Wines
I usually start texts about promotions with the venue and information about the winery. This time, without any major dilemmas, I decided to speak/write about Oliver Arman right away, as an introduction. In the last seven days, Franc Arman's winery was even twice on promotions. The first was conducted in a relaxed conversation with the winemaker by Tomislav Tuđen at the Antunović Hotel, and at the second at HKD Napredak, Bogović's sommelier Darko Lugarić and I gave space to th

Furuna: a Rijeka address where dough sets the rhythm of the day
In a city that has been shaped for centuries between the sea, the port and industry, smells have always been a part of everyday life. Salt, diesel, fresh fish, coffee from the Korzo. In recent months, another one has joined this Rijeka mosaic – the smell of bread and long-fermented dough that spreads along Pavla Rittera Vitezovića Street every morning. There is Furuna, a bistro and bakery that has become one of the most interesting new places on the city's gastronomic map in

Slapnica, a Place Where the Water Remembers
In the heart of Žumberak lies one of the most beautiful stream valleys in Croatia, which has been preserved for decades by people in love with nature. Some places do not captivate at first glance.

Just an hour's drive from Zagreb, deep in the green folds of the Žumberak Mountains, lies a valley that many

The Wine Guy: A Journey Through the Wines of Banat and Romania
By the time the fourth glass was poured, it became clear that Romanian wine is not a story you can understand from a supermarket shelf. It is a story of regions, traditions interrupted by communism, forgotten grape varieties, and passionate people trying to reconnect the pieces. Few places tell that story better than The Wine Guy in Timișoara. Tucked away in the elegant streets of Romania's westernmost major city, The Wine Guy is part wine shop, part classroom, and part livin
