Ilok – Delicium Mundi is an important event for the development of the tourist offer of the city of Ilok, at the same time Srijem and Slavonia, which positions itself in cultural and rural tourism on the map of continental Croatia and improves the promotion of Croatian cuisine and wine.

This year, in the desire for a new sustainable development of the event, after being held continuously for four years, a new name was chosen Ilok – Delicium Mundi.

So far, a wine list from the Danube regions has been presented in the program, this year, due to pandemic measures, winemakers from Ilok will gather to offer wine tasting. There is also a gastronomic table with local caterers where visitors can taste famous indigenous dishes.
