Pleasure Seekers Croatia is a project, developed by our two companies, offering consulting services and organization of events in the fields of gastronomy and tourism. We wanted to create a business which would encompass our passion for food, wine and travel, as well as our educational and work backgrounds. So we came up with the idea to develop a brand which would represent everything we are – hedonists, who are hungry for knowledge and thirsty for pleasure. And we wanted to share that passion with others…

It all started several months ago, when we were both in a stage of our lives and careers when we knew we wanted to do something different, something that we enjoyed doing and something we both could contribute to developing. So we decided to open our own companies and made a business plan. Pleasure Seekers Croatia now organizes all sorts of events, starting with wine tastings, culinary workshops and educational dinners. We are constantly trying to organize something different, innovative, entertaining and unexpected. Our goal is to provide a new concept which would popularize gastronomy to younger generations, broadening their horizons beyond the traditional. Other than that, we are also involved in several consulting projects in hospitality. Hotels, restaurants and wine bars recognize us as a perfect match for their intention of enriching their offers and introduc-ing innovative methods and services, all for the purpose of increasing their business results. One of our plans for the future includes the development of gourmet tours in Croatia that would em-phasize the richness of the gastronomical offer that Croatia has. Moreover, the tour of discovering Croatia's hidden gems will be combined with educational guidance, innovative cuisine, entertaining dinners and a lot of other delightful surprises.

All in all, we found this recipe for success to be true:

Head up an IDEA.
Take ACTION.
Mix it up with DESIRE and BELIEF.
Then add a dash of PERSISTENCE.
