The International Festival of Wine and Culinary Art is dedicated mostly to Croatian wines from all wine regions. Now for a few years the festival asted for 4 day, the first 2 days were different wineries than the other 2 days. However we visited the second part of it. So we were able to taste “only” half of the wines that were represented.
This year It catch my attention indigenous wines. Croatia had 39 indigenous wine grapes. Beside the most famous Graševina it is Škrlet, Vugava, Žlahtina, Debit, ... I would like to thank prof. Ivan Dropuljić, the organizer of this wine event for so many years in the iconic hotel Esplanade.
