This wine tour is all about exploring  One of the most famous wine regions is Sumadija region also known as a Serbian Tuscany. In the hinterlands of Kosmaj, Rudnik and Venčac, with Prokop and Oplenac, people have been growing grapevine from ancient times.

First stop on our wine tour is one of the most famous and first small private wineries in Serbia Radovanovic. Owner Miodrag Radovanovic, a professional with many years of experience, decided to plant 30 ha of vineyards in his estate and start production of one of the most famous wines today. Winery is located near Belgrade just 90 kilometers.

After visiting the very first private winery in Serbia we continue towards to the most modern one.  By using state-of-the-art technology, following the world trends, scientific knowledge and tradition of generations, the Aleksandrovic Winery has become a leader among the winemakers of the entire Balkan region and has won a number of medals for quality at the world’s largest competitions.

On wine tour after visiting these two wineries our next stop is Oplenac, the royal complex of Karadjordjevic dynasty. One of the important parts is Royal winery which we will visit on this wine tour.

Complex of the winery was started by King Peter I Karađorđević, and after his death he was succeeded by King Aleksandar I Karađorđević. During the First World War, the graves were desecrated, but it has been successfully restored and today presents a cultural monument of exceptional significance. The jewel of the winery is a cellar which at that time it was the most modern basement, with modern equipment, built like French wine cellars. Even today it is very well preserved, so visitors have the opportunity to see how the king produced wine some 85 years ago. In the museum space on whose walls are the photographs depicting King Alexander I and Queen Mary in vintage, three bureaucas can be seen – a gift of burial for the wedding day of the royal couple from the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. On each of them are the initial verses of the anthems of every nation: the Serbian “God of Justice”, the Croatian “Our Beautiful” and the Slovenian “Next, Flag of Glory”. Barrels were made in each of these republics of dry Slavonian oak. The oldest boiler in the basement is from 1909.
