ROOT44: Culinary and Cultural Journeys in Croatia
Toronto-based ROOT44 is a female-owned and operated company founded by Wanda Srdoc. A culinary and travel expert, 4th generation truffle specialist, dual Croatian-Canadian citizen, and passionate world traveler. Committed to sustainability, ROOT44 curates unforgettable experiential events and travel experiences that elevate your love for food, culture, and exploration.
Clients who have enjoyed Wanda’s award-winning products and gourmet classes eagerly requested her guidance to Croatia. Specifically, they’re drawn to the beautiful Istrian Peninsula, the heart of truffle sourcing. This region, bordered by Slovenia, Italy, and the Adriatic Sea, offers culinary treasures beyond truffles.
Over the past decade, Wanda has had the pleasure of curating private, all-inclusive, small-group tours throughout Croatia. These experiences offer an authentic, behind-the-scenes look at the country’s most captivating places, vibrant people, and exquisite cuisine. A private truffle hunt stands out as a highlight, followed by a decadent tasting at the host’s family truffle estate in Istria.
Today, ROOT44 proudly showcases the authentic beauty of Croatia, moving beyond the typical tourist paths. From the extensive coastline to the rich cultural tapestry, ROOT44 reveals Croatia’s diversity from North to South. The company offers curated culinary and cultural tours that immerse travelers in the essence of this remarkable country.
