Croatia on our minds and in our hearts.
We are fresh back from a few weeks traveling, cooking, eating and drinking our way through Croatia and feeling deliciously inspired! From pršut, pasta and truffles, to sparkling fresh seafood and beautiful Mediterranean produce, cheeses and wines, we want to share our experience with you!
We’ll be popping up at our charming wine country dining room, Brick Hall, to recreate some of our favorite dishes that we ate or cooked along our travels—see the menu below!—and laying out a feast to remember in honor of a country that has so enchanted us.
We’ll pour marvelous Croatian wines, lavish dishes with Istrian olive oil and share stories of our travels, in hopes that everyone will leave happy, satiated, and dreaming of charming seaside fishing villages and the lush, misty hills of the Istrian countryside. See you at the table! Živjeli!
