Summer, Seaside, and a Gourmet Surprise: Discover Aminess Wine & Gourmet Nights

Some summer evenings ask for something more. A new flavour. A sunset with a soundtrack. A dinner that’s not just a dinner. That’s exactly where Aminess Wine & Gourmet Nights come in, a series of one-night-only culinary events that transform your holiday into a story worth retelling. Held from March to October in six breathtaking destinations — Novigrad, Njivice, Crikvenica, Korčula, Makarska and Brač - these evenings bring together some of Croatia’s most exciting chefs, elegant seaside settings, and original menus curated just for the occasion. Whether you’re travelling with family, friends or just your appetite, these events are a standout addition to your summer calendar.

One evening. One menu. One chance to experience it.

Each Wine & Gourmet Night is a one-off. The chefs change, the themes shift, and the plates? Never the same twice. Renowned Croatian chefs — including David Skoko, Matija Bogdan, Hrvoje Zirojević, Igor Jagodic, and others — join forces with local winemakers and guest chefs to create an evening where every detail matters. From fresh Adriatic seafood to dry-aged steaks, fusion sushi or creative reinterpretations of traditional dishes, the menus are carefully built around the moment: the season, the location, the chef’s inspiration.

The result? A tasting experience that isn’t just memorable, it’s unrepeatable.

From Istria to Dalmatia, flavour follows you

One of the best parts of these events is that they’re happening in places you’re already planning to visit. Staying in Novigrad at the Aminess Vival Maestral Hotel or Aminess Planet Camping Sirena? You can head to the elegant Oliveto Restaurant or the laid-back Half 8. On Korčula, guests of Aminess Vival Port9 Resort can enjoy sea-view fine dining at 7 Seas Restaurant & Bar. On Brač, the Grill Garden Restaurant near Sutivan becomes the culinary stage for chef Hrvoje Zirojević.

The experience doesn’t end with the food. In The Above Rooftop Restaurant & Bar in the luxurious Aminess Laurel Khalani Hotel in Makarska, summer nights come alive with Sunset Sessions — a mix of creative cocktails, five-course dinners, and live DJ sets. In Njivice, the atmosphere is more intimate, but just as flavourful, with chef Matija Bogdan curating multiple dates throughout the season.

A gourmet highlight of your summer holiday

There’s something magical about these nights. Maybe it’s the sea air, or the fact that you’re tasting something truly unique. Maybe it’s the music drifting in from the bar, or the joy of discovering a new favourite wine. It’s not just about sitting down for a meal, it’s about giving one evening of your trip over to experience, indulgence, and inspiration.

And while each dinner is limited in seats, it’s limitless in memory.
