The Higher Vocational College for Hospitality, Wellness, and Tourism Bled will host a prestigious event from April 8 to 10, 2025 – the 19th International Young Bartenders Competition, G&T CUP Bled 2025. This event will bring together talented hospitality and tourism students from across Europe.

The competition, which will feature 37 participants from 10 countries, offers a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge, experience, and innovative approaches in the world of mixology.

The main competitive event will take place on April 9, 2025, at the Šobec Camp. Contestants will compete by creating their own cocktail, which must reflect one of the four elements – water, air, fire, or earth. Each participant will also need to present their creation with a compelling concept, harmonious flavor, and refined visual appeal.

For nearly two decades, the international bartending competition in Bled has contributed to the development of careers in hospitality and tourism, fostered innovation, and built bridges between young talents and the industry. This year’s edition promises to deliver spectacular cocktails, creative ideas, and inspiring stories.
