While running small group tours to Slovenia and Croatia for the past 11 years, I routinely heard from guests how undersold the food and wine was. This new tour company is designed to showcase the food, wine-making culture and culinary traditions that these diverse countries have to offer. Savor shines the spotlight on traditional regional and seasonal dishes, wine varietals unique to micro-regions, slow-food philosophy and long-standing family recipes. Most of all, our tours open a window of insight into the wine makers, artisans and local food producers by letting you be a guest in their cellars, houses, restaurants, farms and vineyards. We offer our travelers small family-owned hotels, pensions/B&B’s to stay in. Overnight in these locally owned lodgings enhances the visitors’ experience, since they get an opportunity to be welcomed by a local host and receive a better insight into the everyday life of local people. It also puts guests in touch with people they would normally not come across while traveling in large cities or without knowing the local roads. We communicate directly to these suppliers so there is no middle man who would get most of the money. Instead, the majority of money generated on our tours goes into the pockets of small wineries, shops, farmhouses and other locally operated businesses. All of the meals included in our tours are at locally owned and operated restaurants, farmhouses and pensions. In this way our clients have an opportunity to taste some of the typical specialties of the region and at the same time help the local economy. Most of the food served at these places are from the owner’s land, though a few items are supplemented from other local farmers and food producers in the region. Many of the wines and food specialties on our tour (such as pumpkin oil, schnapps or goat cheese) are not available anywhere outside of these countries. Some of these items are not even available in local shops, only at the home of the winemakers and food producers. This gives our guests a real unique chance to try something that they could never purchase at home, help put some money into the local economy and give good word of mouth to these businesses, which is key to their sustainability.

This place is the epitome of an amazing college town diner! Badger decor, huge portions, completely affordable, hearty meals and awesome service! The ambiance is very chill and comfy. Just moved to Thai’s Taste and already went here twice (two days in a row) because there's really nothing like this place. It's going to be hard to find another place like this in regards to service, taste, portions & price! My husband and I will definitely be regulars here!
