We are pleased to invite you to join us at Gourmet Cup Ljubljana, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary edition on 2 and 3 March 2026 at the Krvavec ski resort.
For many years, Gourmet Cup Ljubljana has represented a special gathering of the Slovenian hospitality community, where cuisine, sport and informal networking intertwine in a unique winter setting on the snow. The event also offers a valuable opportunity to meet established chefs, exchange experiences and gain insight into intergenerational collaboration within the profession.
On Monday, 2 March , the programme will begin with a morning Gourmet Breakfast , followed by the draw of starting numbers and the ski race for the Colmar Gourmet Cup . At the same time, Gourmet on Snow – the central culinary gathering of the day – will take place at Krvavec Beach. A key highlight of this year’s event will be the participation of chefs from JRE-Slovenia , who will take on mentoring roles alongside more than 20 young talents and their school mentors from 11 Slovenian hospitality and tourism schools . Participating chefs include Sabina Repovž (Gostilna Repovž) , David Vračko (Restavracija Mak) , Igor Jagodic (Restavracija Strelec) , Ksenija Mahorčič (Gostilna Mahorčič) , Tomaž Bevčič (Rizibizi) , Martina Breznik (Hiša Raduha) , Uroš Štefelin (Hiša Linhart) , Andrej Smogavc (Spargus) , Jure Brložnik (Miza za štiri) , Jakob Pintarja (TaBar) and Marko Pavčnik (Pavus) . Together, they will create signature dishes while emphasising the importance of knowledge transfer and intergenerational collaboration through hands-on work. The day will conclude with a lively Après Ski party .
On Tuesday, 3 March , the event will culminate with the Gourmet Cable Car Dinner – an unforgettable culinary experience in the Krvavec cable cars. The Flavours of Ljubljana dinner will be led by JRE-Slovenia member and renowned Ljubljana-based chef Tomaž Bratovž (Restaurant JB) , while the sweet finale will be prepared by Tomaž Bolka (Gostilna Krištof) .
Even in its anniversary year, Gourmet Cup Ljubljana remains a place for connection, collaboration and reflection on the future of Slovenian gastronomy – and we look forward to having you as part of this story.
