We are excited to announce one of the most anticipated events at
this year’s Ljubljana Coffee Festival – the Panel Forum on Specialty Coffee & Haute Cuisine.

This forum is of paramount importance for the future of building a robust coffee culture in Slovenia. It will focus on the integration of specialty coffee into high-end cuisine and top-tier restaurants, marking a significant milestone for our growing community.

Slovenia is currently experiencing a dynamic shift with the rising prominence of specialty coffee. As a result, a vibrant community that values and enjoys high-quality coffee is taking shape.

The panel discussion we have curated promises to be a highlight of the festival, featuring some of the most influential international experts in the realm of specialty coffee.

The objective of this forum is to stimulate a thoughtful discussion on the trends, challenges, and opportunities that specialty coffee brings to high-end restaurants.

The conversation will be moderated by BARISTA MAGAZIN jurnalist Vasileia Fanarioti by the following key questions and topics:

• Trends in Incorporating Specialty Coffee into Fine Dining
• Challenges in Incorporating Specialty Coffee
• Opportunities for Enhancing Coffee Offerings
• Exchange of Ideas and Knowledge

We invite all coffee enthusiasts, professionals, and those interested in the evolution of fine dining to join us for this insightful and inspiring panel discussion.

Let us come together to explore and celebrate the intersection of specialty coffee and haute cuisine, and to foster a richer coffee culture in Slovenia.
