Discover one of Dalmatia's oldest culinary traditions through a hands-on experience. Instead of simply watching, you'll prepare your own traditional bread, shape the dough, and bake it under the peka using the same method local families have passed down for generations. As the bread bakes over hot embers, you'll hear stories about Dalmatian village life, traditional cooking techniques, and the importance of simple, local ingredients. You'll also enjoy a tasting of the famous Zadar Maraschino liqueur before gathering around the table to taste your freshly baked bread with local cheese and extra virgin olive oil. This authentic experience offers a relaxed atmosphere, personal guidance, and a genuine connection to Dalmatian culture that you won't find in a typical cooking class.

Tantalize your tastebuds and expand your knowledge of traditional Croatian cuisine with this guided food tour.

Potential samples you can try include local olive oil, fish dishes, cakes, and prosciutto, as well as delicious local wine.

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.

Guests gain a deeper understanding of brewing techniques, hop varieties, malt profiles, and what makes Brewtal beers unique.
