December 9, 2020 – The international wine and food Festival “WineRi” and the “Vina Kvarnera“ association are organizing a Zoom tasting of the local Kvarner wines, called Kvarner in Your Home!
Unfortunately, during these pandemic times, Zoom wine tastings are becoming more and more normal. But, also, fortunately, thanks to technology, we can hang out at least through our computer screens and comment on different wines.
This time, before Christmas, the international wine and food Festival “WineRi” and the „Vina Kvarnera“ association are organizing a Zoom tasting of the local Kvarner wines. It will take place on Thursday, the 17th of December, under the title Kvarner in your home. It will be an online opportunity to both chat and learn about five wines. If you apply on the Facebook page „WineRi“ (https://fb.me/e/Pvwzxz2d) or the Festival WineRi website – you will taste them together with the professionals while relaxing at home.
The deadline for applying is Thursday, the 10th of December, at noon. You will also receive all the necessary data about the tasting by mail.

The wineries that will be presenting their wines are Poljoprivredna zadruga „Gospoja, “Vinarija „Šipun“ and „Kuća vina Ivan Katunar, “all from Vrbnik, island of Krk; Vina „Plovanić“ from Kastav, and Vinska kuća „Pavlomir“ from Novi Vinodolski. The main idea is to make the indigenous Kvarner wine varietals more popular.
Ivica Dobrinčić
The sparkling wine Žlahtina, “Maličić” of Šipun winery that will be presented by the winemaker Ivica Dobrinčić is also a premiere, so the expectations are high. One more sparkling wine comes from the same varietal, but from the other side of Kvarner, from Novi Vinodolski. It is “San Marino” sparkling by Vinska kuća Pavlomir, presented by the owner Miroslav Palinkaš.
