The highly anticipated festival of wine and delicacies organized by Slobodna Dalmacija returns to Diocletian’s cellars after two years! The event is held in one of the most beautiful wine cellars in the world, which, like the entire imperial palace, is under UNESCO protection, reports Slobodna Dalmacija.
On Friday and Saturday, May 20 and 21, numerous winemakers, wine lovers, olive growers, olive oil lovers and connoisseurs will gather in Split for a wonderful festival of wine and delicacies. The pandemic postponed the event in 2020 and 2021, or else this could have been the 10th jubilee Slobodna Dalmacija Vinski Podrum.
Winemakers from all parts of Croatia, but also neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina, proudly come to show the best wines from their cellars, allowing visitors to hop from stand to stand to taste different wines and vineyards, terroirs and varieties.
The mighty plavac from Pelješac, Hvar, Vis, and Kaštela, fragrant Malvasia from Dubrovnik from Konavle, pošip, Grk and maraština, Imotski kujundžuša, žlahtina from Krk, special merlot, syrah, and cabarnet, world-award-winning ice wines from Zagorje, vintages, and the most beautiful Traminer wines of Ilok are just a part of what will be offered at this year’s event.
Visitors will also be able to taste a selection of delicacies, with top-quality prosciutto, cheeses, marinated and salted fish, chocolates and various other treats. Internationally awarded olive oils from Dalmatia to Istria and even Herzegovina will also be on offer, and unique workshops will help you distinguish good from bad olive oils and pair food and wine.
Other workshops have been designed to premiere new wines, special sparkling wines, the great story about prosecco, the mighty vineyards of Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Vis Vugava, indigenous Dalmatian varieties, and syrah!
