Bine Volčič has nurtured a passion for cooking since childhood, so there was no doubt about which profession was meant for him. He also gained knowledge in Paris, where he studied classical French culinary arts. He then worked in various hospitality establishments, both large and small, and in 2016, he opened his bistro Monstera in Ljubljana, which was awarded a Michelin Green Star for sustainable gastronomy. At the height of the uncertainty during the first wave of the pandemic, he and his wife decided to establish a modern "homestead" in Goričko. Today, this space offers guests shelter, relaxation, and an abundance of delicious treats from nature and nearby farms. The move is also the reason he concluded his role as a judge on MasterChef Slovenia after six seasons.
