The tourist boards from the Crikvenica–Vinodol Riviera are organizing three training sessions for all hospitality businesses: “Menus That Capture Attention”, “Wild Herbs in Original Dishes”, and “Wine Analysis, Tasting, and Serving”.

The first two trainings, “Menus That Capture Attention” and “Wild Herbs in Original Dishes”, will take place consecutively in the conference hall (ground floor) at the “Marina Novi” marina in Novi Vinodolski on December 6 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM.

The professional training “Menus That Capture Attention” will be led by Sanja Živanović from the consulting business “Mercury Dream”. Menus are one of the key elements of any hospitality venue, as they leave the first impression on guests. This training provides insights on how to create a great menu, how to design it, what dishes to offer and how, how to highlight star items, how often to change it, and more.

The training “Wild Herbs in Original Dishes” will be led by Renato Kraljev, Croatian Master Chef and gastronomy professor. This fascinating presentation will demonstrate how to use wild herbs growing around us and how to create new offerings inspired by nature, following the zero waste concept.

The third training, “Wine Analysis, Tasting, and Serving”, will be held in the meeting room (next to the reception) at the Boutique Hotel “Esplanade” in Crikvenica on December 13 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The workshop will be led by the Croatian Sommelier Club (HSK), and participants will learn about: the vinification process of still and sparkling wines; Croatian wine regions and grape varieties; an overview of Croatian wine legislation; wine analysis through sight, smell, and taste; tasting of white and red wines; and a practical demonstration of serving red wine – decanting. Participants will receive an HSK certificate of attendance.

We warmly invite all hospitality businesses to take part. The trainings are free of charge for all participants, and registration is required no later than December 5 at 12:00 PM via e-mail at info@tz-novi-vinodolski.hr.
