    Leave Belgrade in the morning and cross the Danube into the Banat plain. In Vršac, drive up to the tower on the hill attributed to Despot Đurađ Branković (inside visits subject to opening) for the view over the vineyards, then walk the town centre with your guide: the Bishop's Palace, St Nicholas's Cathedral and the streets of the old wine town. After a free lunch in town, continue into the hills to Gudurica for tastings at two family-run wineries, each with a plate of local cheese and charcuterie. Return to Belgrade in the evening.

Signature moments

A tower above the vines

From the hill above Vršac the vineyards run down towards the plain, and on clear days the view reaches the hills of Romania.

At the family table

Small wineries pour their own wines and explain the year in the vineyard, often with the family that makes them.

Before you choose

Is this day for you?

A good fit if

Wine lovers, travellers who have already seen Belgrade and Novi Sad, and anyone who wants a quiet day in the countryside about two hours from the capital.

Maybe not if

Guests under 18 who will not taste (a non-alcoholic version is possible but less rewarding), and travellers looking for big-name estates and formal cellar tours.

Pace and effort

About ten hours, with about 2–2½ hours' drive each way across the Banat plain (about 5 hours on the road in all, with the short drive to Gudurica). Easy walking in town; the path to the tower is short but steep.

Make it yours

Change anything

Harvest Weekend: Karlovci & Vršac in September (SB-10) · The Vršac grape harvest festival in September · Lunch at a winery instead of in town · Overnight in Vršac and continue to Timișoara.
