Dubrovnik Good Food Festival 2026

The Dubrovnik Good Food Festival 2026 brings two weeks of culinary experiences, local ingredients, Croatian traditions and contemporary gastronomy to the city and its surroundings. Organised by the Dubrovnik Tourist Board, the festival has become one of the highlights of Dubrovnik's autumn calendar, offering an opportunity to experience the city's rich gastronomic heritage alongside innovative culinary experiences.

What's on at the Dubrovnik Good Food Festival 2026?

The 2026 programme offers something for every food lover. Alongside special festival menus at Dubrovnik restaurants, visitors can enjoy FOODravanje, a street-food festival accompanied by live concerts, dinners hosted by guest chefs, gastronomic excursions, hands-on workshops, tastings, a gastro quiz and the Dubrovnik Beer & Bites Fest.

This year's programme also invites guests to explore the flavours of the Dubrovnik region beyond the Old Town. Gastronomic excursions include visits to the Dubrovnik Littoral and local family farms, while a walk along Napoleon's Road combines nature, history and gastronomy with a brunch at the Trsteno Arboretum.

For those who enjoy discovering local ingredients, the programme features a wild herb foraging workshop, while creative wine lovers can take part in vinorel workshops and enjoy tastings showcasing local products and premium wines.

And, as always, one of the festival's most anticipated highlights will be the Dubrovnik Table (Dubrovačka trpeza) – a celebration of Dubrovnik's culinary heritage and community, bringing together locals and visitors around a shared table.

This year, Sun Gardens Dubrovnik is proud to be part of the Dubrovnik Good Food Festival, with two of its restaurants participating in the festival programme: Cilantro and La Pasta.
