From Passion to Reality: The Birth of Pinčo Tapas & Wine Bar
For many, the dream of owning a restaurant or bar remains just that—a dream. However, for one ambitious couple in Zadar, Croatia, that dream has turned into a rewarding reality. After years spent sharing travel insights through her blog, the author, along with her husband Mate Begonja and business partners, opened Pinčo Tapas & Wine Bar on May 5, 2025, right in the heart of the old town. This initiative marks a significant shift in her career path from blogger to bar owner.
The inspiration to create Pinčo stemmed from recognizing a void in the Zadar culinary scene. The bar seeks to provide a relaxed atmosphere for locals and visitors alike, making quality wine and small plates accessible without the hefty price tag. More than just a drinking establishment, Pinčo embodies a community hub where one can experience carefully curated flavors combined with an inviting social ambiance.
A Wine Lover’s Delight
Wine enthusiasts will find special joy at Pinčo, where over 50 Croatian wines are handpicked to offer something unique in Zadar's vibrant wine culture. The bar promises an intriguing selection, giving patrons the opportunity to taste and learn about lesser-known wines typically unavailable by the glass. Additionally, there's a diverse cocktail menu, along with a delightful happy hour that encourages social connections through shared experiences and flavors.
Social Vibes and Community Connection
The journey of creating Pinčo is not just about expanding the local wine and food scene; it’s also about fostering a sense of community. Building spaces where people can come together over shared passions—be it music, food, or drink—means supporting our local culture and each other. The warm, inviting environment at Pinčo opens its doors to spontaneous gatherings that can turn into cherished memories.
What’s Next for the Blog and Bar?
As the author transitions from the busy grind of opening a bar back into her role as a travel and culture blogger, readers can expect a fresh blend of stories. The blog will continue to explore hidden spots, culinary delights, and local adventures in Croatia and the Balkans, supported by her new experience in the hospitality industry. This perspective shift promises even richer, firsthand insights into the region's food, music, and cultural festivals.
