Cabernet Sauvignon & oily fish, With love - 2024
November is ideal for exploring the impressive history of Poreč and Istria, and there is hardly a better way to do this then by tasting the best of local wines and food.
Top chefs at Poreč’s restaurants Hrast, Spinnaker and Sv.Nikola will be preparing authentic dishes for dinner, pairing oily fish with Cabernet Sauvignon. Aside from treating your taste buds to a heavenly experience, you will get to learn all about the fascinating background of this grape variety that has found its place in Istria’s sun, and its connection to oily fish.
Cabernet Sauvignon was born almost 500 years ago in Bordeaux, France, after an accidental crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc and is today the most widespread grape variety in the world. It has been long present in Istria as well, for as many as 150 years, much like the tradition of fishing and preparing oily fish, the first written records of which date back to the 14th century.
Joins us on one of the special evenings dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon and oily fish and delve into this intriguing topic while treating your palate to delicacies prepared by Croatia’s top chefs, such as Zdravko Tomšić, Goran Hrastovčak, Robert Benzia and Jurica Obrol.
