Dubrovnik FestiWine Gala event will take place as part of the fourth edition of the Dubrovnik FestiWine. This is one of the spring’s most anticipated fundraising events, which traditionally attracts many wine and food connoisseurs, among whom are many business owners and entrepreneurs, political leaders, philanthropists and activists.
The third edition of Dubrovnik FestiWine Gala, which took place last year, hosted one of the finest Croatian chefs, the renowned Zdravko Tomšić, who, together with his colleague, chef Petar Obad from the Adriatic Luxury Hotels Group, created a unique, seven course gala dinner, accompanied by superb wines from the Komarna vineyard of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Traditionally, the proceeds went to the education and practical training experience of young culinary talents of Dubrovnik-Neretva County.
Following the last year’s edition of Dubrovnik FestiWine, two scholarships were awarded to future young chefs, Đuro Kravić and Tihomir Antunović. The young culinary talents, who got fantastic recommendations by their professors at the Tourism Schools of Dubrovnik and Korčula, as well as many of their colleagues they worked with, were offered a fantastic opportunity to spend the whole month at the Draga di Lovrana Hotel and Restaurant, under the leadership of their mentor, chef Tomšić.
“We are so delighted and grateful for this completely new experience for us. We were so pleased to have had the opportunity to work with the entire staff of Draga di Lovrana Hotel and Restaurant, especially chef Tomšić. We were a part of the team that created culinary masterpieces, from the preparation to the final result, to the delight of all the visitors of Draga di Lovrana”, said the young talents.
At this unique restaurant, which is a part of the renowned association “Jeunes Restaurateurs d’Europe”, Đuro and Tiho have been given a unique opportunity to apply their knowledge as well as to develop new skills. The future chefs stress that they have returned from the beautiful Lovran, positioned on the hills of Učka and overlooking the Kvarner Bay, equipped with new skills and experiences, and unforgettable memories that they will cherish in their hearts forever.
This year’s edition of Dubrovnik FestiWine Gala will take place at the Dubrovnik Palace Hotel in Dubrovnik on 20 April 2017.
