Serbians believe that if you want to understand their country, you should sit at the table and share a glass of Serbian wine. And the best place for that is Srem and Fruška Gora. That’s exactly where we’re heading today on our Serbian
wine tour.
And not just because the local vineyards are a couple of thousand years old, planted — depending on which legend you believe — either by order of Roman emperors or with the blessing of Christian saints. But because in Srem it’s impossibly beautiful, tasty, fascinating, and some local wines - the indigenous Probus, sparkling Grašac Beli, Riesling, Merlot - are devilishly good and valued by connoisseurs and wine lovers all over the world. And of course, Bermet, infused with more than twenty herbs and spices, once served at the Habsburg court. And, they say, even on the Titanic.
We’ll be tasting the finest wines at our favorite wineries, strolling through the charming little town of Sremski Karlovci and the plum orchards of a medieval Orthodox monastery, gazing at frescoes (after all, we are traveling through the “Serbian Mount Athos”). We’ll meet wonderful, passionate people, listen to amazing stories, admire the rolling green hills, the tiny villages with neat houses, vineyards, and blooming gardens. And then taste more wonderful wines. For lunch - lavish, in true Serbian style, we’ll sit down in a real family tavern to enjoy lamb shank, pljeskavica, ćevapi, fresh trout, and anything else the heart desires. All together, it’s the most enjoyable way to get to know Serbian culture.
That’s how our day will be: full of hedonism, indulgence, and complete harmony with the world around us. Tell me, have you ever felt the urge to own a vineyard and dedicate your life to this beautiful and noble craft? :)
And if you are a professional, or if you’re planning to dive deeper into this noble field, if it matters to you not only to taste the finest wines but also to talk with their creators about the fine points of the craft, take a look at our
winery tour designed especially for you.
