We design on-demand experiences built entirely around your people — grounded in local culture, executed by us from start to finish.
"We had a wonderful tasting with several delicious virgin olive oils, paired with fresh cheese and local meats and some very tasty wines and liqueurs! Very friendly people. Overall very recommended."
"Our experience was absolutely AMAZING! Great people, true professionals — and as we asked, the session was adjusted to our needs. Definitely coming back next year."
"We decided to take our loyal guests on a Zadar gastro tour through Authland. The booking was very easy and smooth, and the Authland team was at our disposal throughout."
"Guiding us through the entire production process and the presentation of history were invaluable. A truly memorable experience with people who genuinely love what they do."
Team buildings, incentive trips, corporate retreats — across Dalmatia, Istria, Slovenia & Bosnia and Herzegovina. We design and execute end to end, so you're a participant, not a project manager. From 15 to 150 people.
From your brief to a complete day or multi-day programme — built around your group's profile, not a catalogue.
We match your brief to the right local people — chefs, winemakers, guides — who genuinely suit your group's energy.
Peka, wine paired by the producer, centuries-old recipes — food that becomes the story of the trip.
Transfer, accommodation, restaurant booking, timing — all coordinated. You show up and enjoy.
Venues most participants have never been to. Real freshness, real surprise — no recycled tourist stops.
We're present from arrival to the final toast. Watching the room, adjusting in real time.

Same approach as for corporate — we start with a conversation about your group, design a programme around them, and handle everything on the ground.
Tell Us About Your Group → Explore Experience TypesGeneric hotel banquet rooms and tourist-route itineraries don't create the connection your team is there for. They create forgettable evenings.
Without someone on the ground who knows the local ecosystem, logistics become a full-time job — and something always falls through at the last minute.
"Nice" is the most expensive word in corporate events. It means you spent the budget, gathered the people — and created nothing people will remember.
The problem isn't budget. It isn't logistics. It's that most event providers give you a package — and packages, by definition, weren't designed for your people. We start from zero. Every time.
You tell us about your group. We take care of the concept, the partners, the logistics, and the live execution — so you can actually be present with your team.
We ask the questions that reveal who your people really are — their age, energy, preferences, and what they've already seen — and design an experience arc around that.
Family wineries, agritourism hosts, artisan producers, hidden venues — across Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. Partners we've vetted and worked with for years. Not listed on any booking platform.
A peka lifted from the embers. Centuries-old cheese recipes. Wine poured by the person who made it. Every meal is chosen to create a moment, not just a menu.
The wow effect only works once. We bring groups to places where most participants have never been — and knowing which spots qualify takes years of local knowledge.
Our team is on the ground from first arrival to last toast. We watch the room, adjust the flow, and catch every small issue before it becomes a big one.
A cocktail master who reads the group. An unexpected dessert from a 400-year-old recipe. We build in the moments that get retold to people who weren't there.
We've been to a lot of team buildings — most of them feel like work. This one actually felt like a real break. The food alone was worth the trip. We're already asking about next year.
What surprised me most was how well they understood our group before we even arrived. Every location, every activity — it felt handpicked. Not assembled from a catalogue.
I've organized events in six countries. Croatia with Authland was the first time I could actually relax on the day and enjoy it with the team. That alone made them worth it.
Tell us your group size, dates, and what kind of energy you're going for. We'll come back with a concept — no commitment, no invoice, no package to choose from.
"The freshness of a new place — combined with quality execution — brings positive surprise and a real wow effect."
Caudalie came to us with a group of professionals from across Europe and a clear brief: something authentic, something different, something their team would actually talk about. Not a spa day, not a dinner, not another wine tour.
We built a multi-day Dalmatian experience — boat parties, an agritourism feast with peka, a guided cultural visit, wine tastings at family vineyards, and a closing dinner at a place most locals don't even know. Each element chosen specifically for their group's profile and energy.
The result: An event their team still references when talking about what a corporate retreat should feel like. That's the bar we set with every client — and why we only take on events we know we can deliver at that level.
The peka is Croatia's oldest cooking method — a cast-iron bell buried in embers for hours while your group explores, tastes, and connects. When the lid finally lifts, the smell alone makes the trip worthwhile.
This is the kind of moment we engineer into every experience: sensory, unexpected, and completely impossible to replicate back home. The story people tell at dinner parties for years.
See All Experience TypesTell us about your group: size, dates, energy level, what they've loved (and hated) at past events. The more you share, the better we design.
We build an experience narrative — a flow that makes emotional sense for your specific group. Not a template, not options to choose from. A real concept.
On the day, our team handles every detail on the ground. You enjoy the experience with your people — fully present, fully off duty.
No retainer, no minimum spend, no tourist packages — just an honest conversation about what your group needs.
Brief Us on Your EventNo vague promises, no upselling. If something doesn't fit, we'll tell you — and point you in the right direction.
Yes — that's actually how we prefer to work. We start with a conversation, not a catalogue. The brief becomes the design. If your group has done things like this before and wants something genuinely fresh, that's where we're at our best.
We've handled groups ranging from 15 to well over 100 people. Size affects logistics, not quality. We'll tell you honestly if a concept doesn't scale to your group — and offer an alternative that does.
We work exclusively with partners who have been doing what they do for years — not hired for events, but living it. A winemaker who's been running the family vineyard for three generations. A cook who makes that dish at home every Sunday. That's the difference. We visit every partner before we recommend them to a client.
Our deepest roots are in the Zadar area and across Dalmatia, but we also run experiences in Istria and the Kvarner region. If you have a specific destination in mind — or no idea where to go — we can advise on that too.
For smaller groups (up to ~30 people), we can often work with 3–4 weeks' notice. For larger events, 6–8 weeks gives us the best flexibility to secure the right partners and venues. That said — reach out early, and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable.
We ask about this in the briefing phase, every time. Dietary needs, mobility requirements, language preferences — these inform our partner selection and venue choices from the start. Nothing gets retrofitted at the last minute.
Send us your brief — group size, dates, budget range, the vibe you're going for. We'll come back with a concept that fits. No commitment, no generic options.
Brief Us on Your Event →The thinking behind why Caudalie, Adriagate, Thome and Cognism came to us — and came back.
Most event providers present a menu: choose Activity A, B, or C; pick a venue from this shortlist; add dinner. That's not a designed experience — that's assembly.
We start differently. A real conversation about your group: who they are, what their working life looks like, what kind of energy they have, and what they've already done that they didn't love. Those answers become a brief. The brief becomes a concept. The concept becomes something they'll still talk about six months later.
This approach comes from four years of working with groups from France, the UK, the US, and across Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia & Herzegovina — and learning exactly where the magic lives and where it dies.
We ask the questions most agencies skip: What does the food & drink expectation tell us about the group's culture? How many activities fit in the available hours without exhausting people? What does the participant demographic tell us about the right pace and tone?
Not all local providers suit all groups. A team with an average age of 28 needs different energy than a senior leadership off-site. We know our partners deeply — their personality, their approach, their ability to read a room — and we match them accordingly.
We work with producers who have a genuine specialty — something you can't find anywhere else. A peka master. A winemaker pouring a varietal most guests have never tasted. A dessert made from a recipe that hasn't changed in 400 years. The meal becomes the memory.
The best venues are ones most participants have never been to. That freshness — combined with quality execution — creates a genuine wow moment. Knowing which places qualify takes years on the ground. That local knowledge is one of our most valuable assets.
Great events are made of small moments strung together well. We watch for facial expressions, energy shifts, the moment a group gets excited about something unplanned. We notice when something's running short and fix it before anyone else does. On the day, we're fully present — not managing from a spreadsheet, but reading the room.
Tell us about your group and we'll walk you through how we'd approach it — no obligation, no generic options.
When the right people, the right places, and the right food come together — something shifts. That's what we're after, every single time.
Brief Us on Your Event →A curated look at what we design and why each element exists.
These aren't packages. They're ingredients. The final design always depends on your group, your brief, and what will actually work for your people.
Hands-on cooking classes led by people who've been making these dishes their whole lives — prisnac, homemade pasta, bread baked on a stone hearth. No tourist demo. The real thing.
→ Your group leaves knowing how to make something they'll make at home
Maraština whites, Plavina reds, local rakija — poured by the people who grew the grapes. Venues like Vinarija Škaulj, and several partners not visible anywhere online.
→ Wine with context is wine people actually remember
Expert-led visits where history is explained with genuine passion — not recited from a script. Archaeological sites, living museums, and spaces most tour groups never reach.
→ Context that makes a place feel real, not like a backdrop
Meet the people behind Croatia's finest olive oils, aged cheeses, honey, and cured meats. Ask the questions. Taste the product. Take a bottle home that actually means something.
→ The story behind the product is more memorable than the product itself
Roman board games, blind tasting competitions, olive oil judging — activities designed to generate real connection rather than forced fun. Group dynamics, not group performance.
→ People talk to colleagues they've never properly spoken to
Stone courtyards, candlelit farmhouse dining rooms, wine cellars where the atmosphere is half the experience. Settings chosen because the space itself makes people relax differently.
→ The right setting makes every conversation better
A cast-iron bell placed over food, buried in embers and ash for hours. The cook lifts the lid. The smell alone stops conversation.
We build the peka moment into itineraries where it belongs — not as a gimmick, but as the natural crescendo of a day spent in the Croatian countryside. Slow, sensory, completely unlike anything back home.
This is the kind of detail that makes people pick up the phone and tell someone who wasn't there.
A wooden board arrives. Prstaci salami, kulen, aged sheep's cheese, dried figs, almonds, marinated peppers — and a bottle of olive oil pressed three months ago on this estate. No menu. No translation needed.
We work with food partners who understand that a great meal isn't just fuel — it's the fastest way to make people feel they're somewhere completely different. That's the brief we give every producer we work with.
Design Your ExperienceNo two groups are alike. Tell us who yours is — and we'll design something that couldn't have been built for anyone else.
