Chef Marina Gaši & Tomac Wines

This September, as a part of Tunalicious Festival, Spinnaker Gourmet Stage is honoured to host an extraordinary culinary evening dedicated to the Adriatic’s most iconic ingredient – tuna. Joining us is one of Croatia’s foremost talents, chef Marina Gaši of Restaurant Marina in Novigrad. Renowned for her pioneering seafood cuisine and a philosophy rooted in respect for the sea’s bounty, Marina crafts each dish guided by principles of sustainability, creativity, and authenticity. Her approach—“whatever the Adriatic offers, in its purest form”—reshapes every course into a memorable tribute to the king of the sea. Every creation will be paired with the distinctive wines of the Tomac family winery. For generations, Tomac have been innovators on Plešivica’s hillsides, blending age-old tradition with modern, organic and biodynamic practices. Their sparkling and amphora-aged wines—celebrated as some of the finest Croatia offers—bring an aromatic complexity that perfectly complements the delicate flavours and textures of tuna. Join us on Thursday, September 11, for an evening where culinary mastery meets winemaking excellence. Immerse yourself in an atmosphere where the freshest ingredients, inspired technique, and a passion for Adriatic heritage converge—promising an unforgettable journey for the senses.
