The rich culinary heritage of the Piran countryside

The event offers a diverse program with a rich selection of artichokes and local produce, culinary delicacies, lectures, and guided tours of the artichoke plantations and the Strunjan salt pans.
You are invited to Strunjan, where you will discover the magical world of the Istrian artichoke and enjoy culinary specialties that will reveal the stories of this unique fruit!
