Slovenia

The collaboration between JRE-Slovenia and Radgonske gorice, Slovenia's oldest renowned producer of sparkling wines, has led to the creation of Black&White Penina - a sparkling wine that captures the true spirit of JRE. This exceptional wine is an excellent choice for those who appreciate exceptional and unique experiences, tradition with a modern touch, and prestige.

JRE, together with significant figures from the gastronomy and business sectors, has the potential to drive progress towards a brighter future that goes beyond just gastronomy, encompassing our environmental responsibilities and global sustainability. During the JRE congress in April 2024, a historic manifesto 'A Toast to a Sustainable Tomorrow - Crafting a Blueprint for a Greener, Eco-Friendly Wine Culture' was endorsed. Signatories committed to developing a lighter wine bottle in the future. The project was supported by the international partner, Vaider Group, a global business partner in the design and production of premium glass packaging at Hrastnik 1860 glassworks.

Without water, there is no life. To spread awareness about the rational use of water resources and promoting drinking tap water, JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs, an association of chefs and restaurant owners, have joined forces with important strategic partners Steklarna Hrastnik and the organizers of the Bled Water Forum. We want to uncompromisingly offer our guests the best that Slovenia has to offer - in the first place the opportunity to taste and get to know tap water. Bottle RE ◦ voda | RE ◦ water is a prestigious, superbly designed and at the same time ecological and sustainable glass packaging. Superior clean glass, free of heavy metals is the safest packaging. As such, it respects the most valuable content it carries. Clean water.

Dedication to detail guides every step of a chef’s knife: forging, shaping, hardening, grinding and polishing. Blacksmiths observe the shifts of energy, how things break, when something is enough and when something more needs to be added. A handmade knife is thus a unique forged iron product, which carries the passion and creativity of the blacksmith. And when a chef gets their hands on it, the creativity only continues and the sharpness of the blade makes it a pleasure to work with.

We are looking for the wine that embodies the winemaker himself, represents the environment in which it was grown and the grape variety from which it originated. The wine that can present the beauty of Slovenian winemaking in one glass. Every year, JRE-Slovenija together with Nova KBM, other partners and expertise support, weave the story of first-class winemakers and select 6 top wines, which we equip in an exclusive package.

The JRE Academy is a meeting point of knowledge, practice and in-depth debates that all caterers should hear. The conference, will bring together international and local speakers to talk about important topics such as sustainability, HR approaches in the hospitality industry, digitalisation, as well as practical modules where you will gain knowledge that you will be able to incorporate into your work immediately after the academy.

The ceramic bowl for paying bills is a creation bank, the JRE association and the artist. It is made in the kintsugi technique, which teaches us to admire what is imperfect and encourages us to repair damaged objects. The broken parts of the cup are joined together with glue with golden dust, which gives the product even more value and delivers the message about the strength of the connection.
