The gala evening dedicated to nature and the unique taste of Gorki List brought together the brand’s friends and partners in the sumptuous setting of Banski Dvor Cultural Center in Banja Luka. The red carpet welcomed notable figures from the cultural, business, and public spheres, who later enjoyed a night celebrating nature, harmony, and the rich flavor of this one-of-a-kind drink.
Guests were welcomed by Vojin Đorđević, the man who has been closest to the brand for the longest time and who, together with his team, works with love and dedication to preserve its authenticity.
“It’s true that I’ve been with Gorki List for a very long time—perhaps longer than anyone else. I have devoted time, energy, and love to this brand, and the more I get to know it, the more I appreciate it. Working for years with people who deeply understand the power of plants has made me love Gorki List even more, because it truly is nature’s most beautiful gift—one that deserves our full respect.
Nature has been generous to Gorki List, and we want to give something back. That is why tonight we are announcing the project ‘From the People to Nature’, which will launch in 2026, with the wish to return at least a part of what nature gives us every day,” Đorđević said.
A special artistic performance, directed by ballet artist Milan Gromilić, added a unique touch to the evening. In a symbolic portrayal of nature’s spirit, Ivana Dudić and Ivan Zekić, in the roles of the Wormwood Fairy and Pan, brought to life the story of 11 plants whose individual and collective character contribute to the harmony and depth of Gorki List’s flavor—one that has endured for more than six decades. Through light, sound, and movement, they captured the essence of each plant and the magic of their union.
The musical program was entrusted to Vlado Georgiev, whose warm, emotional performance filled the Concert Hall of Banski Dvor with the atmosphere for which gatherings of this type have become known.
“Tonight in Banja Luka showed just how much Gorki List lovers value its quality, flavor, character, and authenticity. As the long-term distributor of the brand in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Frutela works to nurture that connection through reliable distribution and continuous market presence,” said Anja Malešević, Marketing Director of Frutela Group, the exclusive representative of Gorki List for BiH.
For decades, Gorki List has been present across the region, and today its distinctive taste is enjoyed by lovers of authentic spirits in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, and the United States.
