Shop the Zmaj Jovina market with a local chef, then cook a full Serbian feast — ajvar, čvarci, paprikaš — in a private kitchen before sitting down together to eat what you've made. The most delicious two hours in Vojvodina.
What to expect
Your private chef-guide meets you at Novi Sad's covered market, where vendors sell Vojvodina's legendary paprika, sausages, and hand-pressed oils. You'll select ingredients together before moving to a beautifully equipped private kitchen in the old town. The class covers three to four dishes — typically roasted pepper ajvar, a rich Vojvodina paprikaš (chicken or pork stew), and a flaky gibanica pastry — with the chef teaching technique as you go. The session closes with a leisurely shared meal at the kitchen table, paired with local Riesling and rakija. Recipes are yours to take home.
Good to know
The kitchen is approximately 10 minutes on foot from the Novi Sad waterfront. Total duration is 2.5–3 hours, making it perfectly compatible with a morning or early afternoon port call. Dietary requirements accommodated with advance notice. Pre-booking essential via Adriatic DMC.
