Four-Course Culinary Experience<\/h3>

This is not a themed dinner but a cultural act \u2014 heritage expressed through gastronomy. Ingredients are local, methods respectful, waste minimal. The story is inherited, protected, and offered with care. Like Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel, these chefs create not in pigment but in memory. In a fast world, this is a choice to slow down \u2014 to see, to taste, to remember.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A Sacred Heritage, Served<\/h3>

This year, fine dining becomes a lens on sacred heritage. Inspired by Istria\u2019s church frescoes, we translate image into flavour, pigment into texture, devotion into service. The table becomes a nave; each course, an act of memory. The result is a contemporary rite \u2014 respectful, radical, and just absurd enough to matter.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Heart of Istrian Wine<\/h3>

Veralda Winery, family-owned since 1938, crowns the hills of northern Istria with 25 hectares of organic vineyards. Celebrating Malvasia Istriana, Refo\u0161k, and Teran, Veralda won global acclaim in 2016 when its \u201cIstrian\u201d Refosco earned Decanter\u2019s Platinum Best in Show. Innovators at heart, they introduced the first Teran ros\u00e9 and sparkling wines, guided by a philosophy that favors emotion over technique\u2014offering true pleasure in every sip.\n\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Marcela Oro\u015bi is performing during the event. Her voice does more than entertain \u2014 it transforms the atmosphere. Each note is placed with care, each pause rich with meaning. Like the Istrian coast, her repertoire shifts between the surprising and the familiar, dissolving the line between artist and audience. Her music lingers long after it ends \u2014 unmistakable, unforgettable.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
