Top Zadar Classes & Workshops

On this two-for-one, culinary-minded tour of Zadar, don't just explore the Old Town and its bustling markets—also shop for fresh ingredients in the company of a chef, and attend a hands-on cooking class. Begin the tour with a morning cup of coffee and short sightseeing excursion before meeting vendors and tasting what’s fresh at the market. Then, head to the kitchen, where you learn how to cook traditional Croatian dishes before enjoying the meal you prepared alongside a glass of wine.

There’s no better way to learn authentic Croatian cookery than from a local chef. This private cooking class in Zadar delivers: with a market visit for ingredients and a hands-on lesson in creating a typical 3-course Croatian lunch. When your cooking is done, savor your meal accompanied by wine. Plus, as you stroll from the market to your class, stop to check out some of Zadar’s landmarks along the way.

This intimate experience gives visitors a genuine look into Croatian family life. Join your host Ana, a marine scientist who teaches conservation and biomimicry, for a meal in her Preko home. Take a small motorboat out to harvest your own shellfish, then prepare a traditional Croatian meal in Ana’s kitchen. You’ll also have time for a morning coffee, snack and swim before the class.

Join us on beautiful experience. Over the course of the meal, 3 delicious dishes featuring fresh-from-the-market products are served. The menu changes weekly based on seasonal foods, and each course is matched with a generous pour of a perfectly paired wine. As you dine, your host will introduce each bottle and answer questions, and explain each pairing, offering tips on deciding which wines go well with certain foods. Pick up information on Croatian main wine regions, the types of grapes grown there, and the styles of wines they produce. Learn some oenophile jargon, delve into the concept of terroir to study how climate and soil impact a wine’s characteristics, discover what means what on a Croatian wine label.
