4. GinIstra festival

This year’s edition brings together more than 35 exhibitors from Croatia, Europe, and the world, who will present over 60 types of gin and accompanying products.

In addition to the exhibition part, the festival includes a professional program with panels, workshops, and masterclasses focused on innovations in distillation, trends in hospitality and tourism, and the promotion of Croatia as an authentic eno-gastronomic destination.

Over the years, GinIstra has become a central meeting point for producers, distributors, hospitality professionals, and tourism workers, offering a unique platform for business networking, knowledge exchange, and contributing to the international visibility of the Croatian beverage and tourism industry.
