With winemakers, tastings and many guests, we celebrated the opening of Croatia’s first DRINX store and Wine Bar. Our new space at Supernova Buzin became a meeting place for the Croatian and Slovenian wine communities, partners, friends and members of the media.
More than 200 guests joined us to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter in the DRINX story.

The wines and the people behind them
One of the best ways to discover wine is to talk to the people who make it. Those conversations were at the heart of our opening celebration.
Guests tasted wines from Croatian and Slovenian winemakers, explored different styles and spoke with producers. Sparkling wines and selected bottles were joined by cocktails from the Aura team and bites from Javornik catering.
DRINX sommelier Valentin Bufolin also shared his knowledge with visitors, introducing the bottles and stories behind our selection.
A special guest: Tonka the robot
The opening had an unusual host. Tonka the robot caught guests’ attention as the evening’s presenter and sommelier, adding a distinctive technological touch.
It was a memorable meeting of wine tradition and modern technology.
A store to explore, a Wine Bar to pause in
The opening gave us a chance to show guests what makes DRINX Buzin special: a store where they can explore the selection and seek advice, and a Wine Bar where they can pause, taste and talk.
Our shelves bring together Croatian and international wines, sparkling wines and Champagne, spirits, beers, soft drinks and gourmet products. Our team helps visitors find a choice that suits their taste, occasion and budget.
We want both experienced wine lovers and people just beginning to discover their preferences to feel welcome.
