Bine Volčič is a “nature-driven chef”. He was awarded with the Michelin green star for sustainable gastronomy for his “zero-waste” philosophy and cooking style in his Monstera bistro (Ljubljana). Since 2023 he shifted his lifestyle by moving to the countryside and together with his wife Katarina he opened the doors of their home in the peaceful rural environment of Goričko. On weekends they host guests and invite them to discover the far North-eastern corner of Slovenia in a culinary way at a common table; foraged delicacies, locally grown products and regional wines are showcased in Saturday tasting dinner, “early-birds” can feed their spirit at morning yoga and everyone is welcome to become a part of a unique “weekend family.”
