Location: the Cellars of Diocletian’s Palace  

Date: December 12 and 13, 2025, from 4 PM till 10 PM

The gastro-enological festival beneath the city, SPLIT UNDERGROUND, powered by Adria.fun, returns for the second time to the very heart of Dalmatia!

For two days, the Cellars of Diocletian’s Palace will once again become the center of wine, food, and great entertainment! After last year’s success, new surprises await: the largest wine cellar in Dalmatia will host a clash of the best wines and delicacies from the region! Alongside this battle of wine glasses, visitors can enjoy live concerts, photo booths, blood alcohol testing, paint & wine workshops, prize games, and a fun new digital exhibition powered by artificial intelligence, this year under the theme “IT ALL STARTED WITH JESUS” powered by Vivax.

To make your stay enjoyable, the walls of the cellars will be lit with atmospheric effects, the best winemakers and food producers will present their creations, and they will be paired live with fantastic hits performed by fresh music names. Each day will bring new performances, because SPLIT UNDERGROUND never has a repeat show!

The finest winemakers from Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina have confirmed their arrival, bringing tastings of over 200 wines, spirits, and delicious gastronomic specialties. Upon entry, visitors will receive a unique SPLIT UNDERGROUND wine glass, a mini catalogue to help navigate the offer (and take part in the prize game), as well as a bottle of premium LEDA spring water.

The festival will be open from 4 PM to 10 PM on Friday, September 26, and Saturday, September 27. The recommended stay inside the cellars is up to 2.5 hours.
