Chef’s Night with Jorg Zupan and Matjaž Zagradišnik

14 February, 2019 at 8 pm

Bring a friend, a romantic partner or spouse for a special 3-hour, 5-course dinner, expertly paired with 5 exceptional wines.

The meal will offer a lovely combination of traditional and modern Slovenian cuisine.

Each wine is from Slovenia, specifically Jakončić Winery, a famous winemaking region spanning western Slovenia and northeastern Italy. One of the winery’s most recent notable achievements was the naming of their Carolina Red wine among Decanter’s list of the 10 best wines in the region. This award-winning wine is one of the wine pairing selections for the evening.

Cattaro Hotel’s own head chef, Bojan Fržović, will provide support.

One of the greatest deterrents to visiting somewhere new, is the reality of the costs associated with traveling to a new destination. However, when air travel rates are low, you’re met with a world of opportunity. Literally. That’s why we’re thrilled Montenegro has become a low-cost flight destination for several cities across the European continent. Spend less on transportation so you can travel more and fill your vacations with more of the activities and adventures you seek.

Low-cost flights may be discovered throughout the year, with a special emphasis on the spring and summer months. While the deals are often fantastic, travelers often stand to save even more by booking months in advance. This creates a special opportunity to enjoy Montenegro’s wild beauty in the high season of summer at a fraction of the price. What are you waiting for?

Cattaro Hotel enjoys a convenient location. We’re just a short drive away from Tivat Airport (10 minutes), Podgorica Airport (1 hour, 30 minutes) and Čilipi/Dubrovnik Airport in neighboring Croatia (1 hour, 30 minutes).

Are you based in or near any of these European cities? Ryanair offers flights from each one of these destinations to Podgorica, our nation’s capital.

• Berlin (Berlin Schönefeld)
• Bologna
• Brussels (Brussels Charleroi)
• London (London Stansted)
• Stockholm (Stockholm Skavsta)
• Stuttgart
• Wroclaw

Montenegro receives more and more low-cost flight opportunities as time goes by.

Cattaro Hotel may be a historic boutique hotel, uniquely nestled within the city’s walls, but we do take pride in our affordable rates.

We’ll be celebrating the night in the main square of Kotor’s UNESCO-protected Old Town, the Square of Arms. Join locals and visitors alike for not one – but two – nights of musical performances. The lineup for Monday, December 31st, features Damir Urban, Darko Rundek & Ekipa, Bombaj štampa and M.O.R.T. All four acts are of the rock or pop-rock genres and the featured artists and bands hail from other areas of Former Yugoslavia, including Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

In keeping with the Balkan tradition, we’ll ring in the new year on January 1st as well. Tuesday’s musical acts are Four Blues Drivers, Galija, Psihomodo Pop and Autogeni trening. Four Blues Drivers is a blues rock band, from right here in Kotor, Galija is a rock band from Serbia and Psihomodo Pop is a punk rock band from Croatia. Finally, Autogeni trening is a Montenegrin rock band with members from Nikšic and the capital city of Podgorica.

If you love rock music, Kotor is the place to be. This is the only major New Year’s Eve rock concert in the country. Don’t miss out on incredible music in one of the most picturesque settings to be found. We hope to see you there!

Winters in Kotor are often without snow, but it does occur from time to time. In fact, last year we saw the city – if briefly – become entirely blanketed with snow. And what a sight it was. The majestic, walled-in Old Town under white cover, right on the Bay of Kotor, an extension of the Adriatic Sea. Snow in Kotor may be more rare, but this jewel of a city is often surrounded by snow-capped, snow-covered mountains in the winter, contributing to the fresh, crisp air, while providing a majestic sight.

Yes, Kotor offers a different type of splendor when the winter rolls around. The city transforms into a peaceful, quiet escape. It’s in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the seacoast in the summer. Locals and visitors alike, go for long walks along the bay, exploring hidden alcoves, catching up with loved ones and photographing local spots of history and legends like Tre Sorelle Palace and Our Lady of the Rocks. It’s also still a wonderful time to climb. Choose from one of three paths to scale the Old Town for exercise, incredible photo opportunities and wondrous views. Feeling energized? Be sure to continue all the way to the top, to reach Kotor’s Castle of San Giovanni.

Enjoy gorgeous weather and much milder temperatures than most other areas in the region. Bundle up elegantly in winter garb, while sipping warm drinks on the Adriatic Sea. It’s a calm, quiet and relaxing time… an ideal time to visit as a couple. Discover romance in every corner. History. Legends. Stunning landscapes.

The Old Town is but one portion of the city of Kotor, and the Bay of Kotor traces several locales from Dobrota to Perast and Prčanj. There are many places to enjoy with a number of excellent local restaurants and cafes along the way.

Guests enter restaurants built into the Old Town’s walls for a slice of Montenegrin history, local cuisine and wine. Others take advantage of the sea views, dining in locales with floor-to-ceiling windows on the bay, for the next best experience to al fresco dinner services.

There are events too, as well as periodic concerts and other cultural events both in Kotor’s Old Town as well as in Porto Montenegro, in the nearby city of Tivat, about a ten minute drive.

How would you like to enjoy Kotor in the winter? We’d love to host you on your travels or serve as the backdrop for your next event. From engagement parties and destination weddings to team-building getaways and corporate events, please get in contact to let us know your needs. You’ll enjoy the full experience of Cattaro Hotel, as well as Kotor at large. Please allow us to produce a tailored experience, customized just for you.
