A bukara is a wooden drinking vessel from Dalmatia. It's a part of every konoba (wine cellar). But a konoba isn't just an ordinary wine cellar. It is the heart of almost every old Dalmatian house. It is a gathering place for celebrating life with a traditional klape song sharing good food and wine. A bukara full of wine is passed around the table while whole fish are grilled on gradele on an open hearth at the back of the cellar. The smell of oak barrels, smoke and fish is warm and so inviting and centuries old stones feel pleasantly cold during warm summer nights. It's about more than just the wine and food. It's about sharing good times with good friends.
Fresh fish is essential for Dalmatian people.
Typical Dalmatian fare.
