The Premiere of the Summer Festival of Sparkling Wines, Champagnes, and Gastronomic Hedonism

The countdown has begun! Crikvenica is getting ready for the very first edition of the Just Sparkle festival. Under the slogan SIP THE SPARKLE. FEEL THE SUMMER., this new event brings a unique blend of premium sparkling wines, champagnes, top-tier gastronomy, and summer lifestyle right by the sea.

Visitors will have the opportunity to taste more than 50 carefully selected labels presented by renowned names such as Kvarner Wines, Pavlomir, Enosophia, SWF Croatia, Griffin, Miva Galerija Vina, Enozoik, and Vapore Distillery/Deklić Winery.

As the sun sets, the music takes over: on Friday, enjoy an energetic atmosphere with Voxford and DJ DaddyDee accompanied by live saxophone, while Saturday night is reserved for Manuel Lupen with an elegant violin accompaniment.
