From the 7th to the 20th of October 2024, Dubrovnik will become the centre of top gastronomy thanks to the eleventh edition of the Good Food Festival. This gastronomic event offers a unique opportunity for participants of business conferences, seminars, and congresses to relax and experience Dubrovnik from a completely new perspective – through flavours, aromas, and an excellent atmosphere at the most beautiful locations.
The Good Food Festival Dubrovnik is designed as a true treat for gourmets and lovers of authentic cuisine, with a program that includes workshops, gourmet dinners, wine tastings, and street food events. The star of the festival is an exclusive dinner with the famous chef Hrvoje Zirojević, which will be held on the 12th of October at the Restaurant Dubrovnik. This top chef will prepare specially curated delicacies accompanied by live music performed by Zrinka Marinović. A perfect evening for those who want to enjoy top-notch food and atmosphere.
Business guests might particularly be interested in the Street Food Festival - FOODravanje, which will take place in Lazareti from the 10th to the 13th of October. This part of the festival program will offer an informal yet delicious opportunity for colleagues to socialise after business obligations and enjoy local specialties with concerts by popular performers. Performing will be Opća opasnost, Atomsko sklonište, Crvena jabuka, and the Dino Dvornik Tribute Band.
A special opportunity for incentive groups
For incentive groups looking for authentic and creative experiences, the festival offers the Wild Feast in the village of Ljubač at the Country Home Musladin with renowned chef Dino Galvagno (October 9th). Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy natural delicacies gathered on-site, accompanied by music and beautiful landscapes. This is an ideal activity for groups looking to escape the city streets and experience something different.
Additionally, wine lovers can take advantage of the Wine Tasting on the island of Lokrum on the 13th of October, where relaxation in nature meets the tasting of natural wines in olive groves – an excellent option for small groups or business partners who want a relaxed atmosphere with top-notch flavours.
A gastronomic adventure and cultural experience
The Good Food Festival this year also brings a series of interesting workshops, and ones that particularly stand out are those organised by the Deša association and RCK Dubrovnik. Participants will have the chance to learn how to prepare carob pasta, coastal cakes, éclairs with traditional flavours, and much more.
During the Good Food Festival, a Restaurant Week will be held, lasting not just one, but two weeks. As many as 53 restaurants throughout Dubrovnik, Župa, and Konavle will offer the best dishes at affordable prices.
The Good Food Festival Dubrovnik is perfectly integrated into the cultural context of the city. Special attention is paid to promoting local cuisine and customs, and the festival's final event, the Dubrovnik Table on Stradun on the 20th of October, brings top-notch gastronomic offerings to the heart of Dubrovnik's historic area. This event also has a humanitarian character, making it a perfect conclusion to the festival for all visitors.
