Local brands: a mixture of flavours, crafts and culinary experiences

In addition to the delicacies typical to an individual region due to its natural characteristics and cultural heritage, some brands also encompass culinary handicraft products, experiences, and events and event providers. The right to use the brand is granted based on strict evaluation and criteria pertaining to both tradition and the environment. This also ensures the local origin of food products and encourages providers, farmers, producers, processors, and tourist and hospitality providers to work together.

Delicious discoveries

Materials, stories, decors and authentic flavours matter. What’s important is that visitors receive authentic experience of everything they could not do elsewhere, be it kneading bread, steeping tea, or learning about the local charcuterie. The highlight are festivities and festivals attracting masses of locals and visitors, where local stories truly come to life.
