Why this journey

Why you’ll love it

  • Bermet in Sremski Karlovci and family estates on Fruška Gora
  • The royal wine cellar at Oplenac
  • Prokupac and Tamjanika in Župa, Serbia's hill-country wine valley
  • Knjaževac and the upland vineyards of the east

Signature moments

A village built for wine

Above Rajac, nearly two hundred stone cellars cluster around a small square, built by families who kept their wine apart from their homes. We plan an evening among them, with a tasting and a simple dinner where it can be arranged, when the day visitors have gone.

Serbia's own grapes

Prokupac, the red grape Serbia calls its own, is at its best in the hills of Župa, and Tamjanika gives aromatic whites in the south and east. You taste them where they grow, with the families who make them.

What you’ll do

Hosted on one of eight days

Everything is arranged privately for your group. Hosts, guides and routes are confirmed in your offer.
