Winehouse Tasting, Zagreb

Join olive oil grower and producer Dr. Neil Jarrett of Dalmatia Oil and Napa Valley wine journalist and educator Dr. Elizabeth Smith as they personally guide you through a healthy and flavourful experience. Enjoy a specially curated tasting of handcrafted dark chocolate, Dalmatian coast olive oils, and a selection of Croatia’s finest native-variety wines from the country’s premier winegrowing regions and producers, accompanied by small bites lovingly prepared by Winehouse, Zagreb.

This one-of-a-kind experience has a healthy theme and is a delightful and delicious way to end your weekend. Seats are extremely limited, so reserve your space while you can!

The sensory experience is designed to be both educational and fun, introducing the rich history and craft behind the production of the highest quality and healthiest olive oils, wines, and chocolate.

The session begins with a sparking wine welcome glass followed by olive oil tasting, where you'll learn how to identify the sensory and health qualities of high polyphenol oils, wines, and chocolates.

You'll be shown how to gently warm the oil in tasting cups, release its aromas, and assess the different qualities of extra virgin olive oil: its fruitiness, bitterness, and pungency. The oil tasting concludes with the healthiest oil from the 2024 early harvest, which has over 1300mg/kg polyphenols. The oils are accompanied by locally baked bread.

The olive oil tasting is followed by a wine tasting experience. Start the session with an introduction to Croatia's four main wine regions and what to look for on the label, before sampling four premium native-grape varietal wines. Learn how to maximize your wine enjoyment in five easy steps: sight, smell, swirl, sip, and savour.

The tasting experience concludes with a supreme dark chocolate, packed with high cacao and flavonoids that improve heart health and blood flow.
