ABOUT
After two editions in Opatija – 2022 and 2024 – we are returning to the same venue: Hotel Royal on 23rd April 2026 (first day) and Roxanich Winery (second day – limited spots).
If you’ve already been part of the event (check out the atmosphere in the 2023 and 2024 videos), you know that the Adria Procurement Event is not “just another conference.” It is a unique place where we speak openly, share experiences unfiltered, and connect procurement professionals from across the region.
You can expect a day full of current topics, concrete real-world examples, and networking that sparks new partnerships and ideas. If you want to experience procurement in its most authentic form – see you in Opatija!
The second day continues in the special setting of Roxanich Winery. Spots are limited, and participants will have the opportunity to join a workshop, tour the winery, and enjoy a guided wine tasting.

MOTOVUN
Motovun is located 21 km southeast of Buje, above the southern bank of the middle course of the Mirna River. It lies about 70 km from Rijeka and Pula and is considered one of the best-preserved medieval urban complexes in Croatia. This probably most famous and attractive Istrian medieval town is regarded as the center of northern Istria, drawing attention with its natural beauty and appealing tourist offers.
Motovun is a popular tourist destination, today renowned as a haven for hedonists from all over the world. According to one legend, the mythical figures Jason and the Argonauts once sailed at the foot of Motovun, while another traces the first inhabitants of the area back to around 3500 BC.
ROXANICH WINERY & DESIGN HOTEL
Roxanich is a family-owned winery located in Motovun, in the heart of the Istrian wine region, renowned for producing natural wines with long aging. It was founded by Mladen Rožanić and is now run with the help of his six daughters, after whom one wine line, “Sorelle”, is named.
The winery follows a philosophy of minimal intervention, creating authentic wines that express the terroir of the Istrian region. The vineyards are situated on an ideal slope with excellent air circulation, allowing the cultivation of top-quality grapes. The portfolio includes fresh white and rosé wines, amber wines, reds, sparkling wines, and fortified wines, all produced in limited editions.
The winery also features a design hotel with 32 rooms, a restaurant, and a wine cellar carved into the hill below Motovun. The complex offers a unique eno-gastronomic experience and is the perfect place to explore Istrian culture and wines.
