Dubrovnik Good Food Festival (What’s New in 2025)

Dubrovnik Good Food Festival offers a range of interesting events, with a focus on wonderful cuisine and fine wines. Organized by the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, the festival includes displays of gastronomic specialties from the Dubrovnik region, culinary seminars on how to prepare traditional delicacies, local wine tastings, painting and wine classes, special events such as supper with famous chefs, and more.

This year, you can take part in a class on zero waste with leftover bread, discover how to combine olive oil with sponge cakes and creams, or, for art enthusiasts, join a creative study of painting with red wine. On October 18, there will be an olive grove picnic on Pobrežje that includes olive tasting, olive harvesting, and lunch with live music because olives play such a significant role in our culinary heritage.

One of the festival's highlights is the now-traditional Dubrovnik Table, which is located on Stradun, the major street in the centre of Old Town Dubrovnik, and is held on October 19 to exhibit the greatest chefs from Dubrovnik's hotels and restaurants. The event also has a charitable component, since the revenues are usually donated to a selected local organization.

For those who prefer street vibes, there is FOODravanje in Lazareti during the weekend of Oct 11 & 12 – street food event with all-day DJ music. Craft beer lovers will enjoy BBQ Beer & Music Weekend in Gruž at Dubrovnik Beer Company Oct 18 & 20.

Over the two weeks guests will also be able to enjoy promotional menus at many Dubrovnik restaurants, gourmet excursions, and gourmet tours. For example, you can join a gourmet excursion to the Pelješac peninsula, a culinary and eno paradise a short drive from Dubrovnik, to experience flavors of the region along with quality wines.

Taste the best of local cuisine, and don't miss the 2025 edition of the Good Food Festival.
