The 2013 Wine & Travel Blogger Fam Trip will take place from 14th to 20th March. Wine and/or travel Bloggers and traditional media are invited to attend and actively participate in the 7 days/6 nights Bloggers Fam Trip.
The Wine Tourism Conference promises to be every bit as exciting as the 2012 conference held in Italy. We have a number of novel attractions to entice you and plan to provide you with a Croatian flavour and a memorable experience. A limited number of bloggers and media will be able to participate in an extended Fam Blogger Trip which consists of three parts:
1. Pre-Conference Bloggers day on Thursday 14th March. 16.30 Meet at the Regent Hotel for a guided visit of Zagreb – an oasis of greenery, culture, arts, architecture, gastronomy and wine. Evening TBA
2. From 15th to 16th March a two – day Wine Tourism Conference packed with over 30 talks, workshops, round tables, plenary sessions and activities. As well as all this, the event offers a state of the art exhibition of wine tourism related products, as well as a rich “After Conference” Social Programme with a distinctly Zagreb flavour. This includes wine tastings, winery visits, cultural visits, wine and food matching and much much more.
