Sensory Cup Returns to Vrhnika Coffee Festival 2026! More Competitors, More Prizes, More Gifts!
By tradition, Sensory Cup will once again take place at Vrhnika Coffee Festival 2026, where the Best Coffee Taster of 2026 will be crowned.
As always, the championship is open to everyone, regardless of experience or professional background. It's a great opportunity to test your sensory skills, compete with fellow coffee enthusiasts, and enjoy a unique specialty coffee experience.
This year, we're welcoming even more competitors, a bigger prize pool, and more gifts for every participant. Join us and show how well you know coffee!
Thanks to our sponsors and partners, competitors will be competing for a €1,500 prize pool, and every participant will receive premium gifts.
A brand-new competition format is also coming to Sensory Cup 2026. This year, the championship will feature head-to-head duels, where two coffee tasters will identify coffees simultaneously, racing against both the clock and each other. This exciting format promises even more action, suspense, and entertainment for both competitors and spectators.
Come and cheer for your favorite baristas or sign up to compete!
Sensory Cup 2026 will take place on 05.09.2026, as part of the Vrhnika Coffee Festival. Don't miss your chance to be part of one of the most exciting coffee competitions of the year!
