What To Expect
Your first wine stop is the village of Vlaški Do and Despotika Winery, a relatively young winery with ambitious plans and an enthusiastic owner. Despotika has several wine labels made from different kinds of grapes, but one is unique – Morava, indigenous Serbian grape variety. Only a few winemakers in Serbia grow Morava, so you’ll have a unique opportunity to try this white wine. You'll also try two more wines from indigenous grape variety - Prokupac. You'll try rose from and red.
The wine tour goes on to the capital of Šumadija wine region, to the town Topola. This is where the Royal family Karađorđević set up their vineyards and created the famous Trijumf (Triumph) wine. You will see the original king’s wine cellar and you'll learn how the king made his wine some 85 year ago. The biggest treasure of the Royal Cellar is the old archive where they keep wines from 1930s. After the visit of the old cellars you'll try their contemporary wines: Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

5.00We spent a great day with Miljan who thought us the wine history of Serbia, and explained about indigenous grapes and wine production in Serbia. We visited 3 wineries and tasted 8 wines in total, covering white, rose and red wines from both indigenous and international grapes. We also had a lunch stop were we learned about and explored the Serbia cuisine. I can highly recommend joining this tour!

5.00The guide Miljan was perfect, knowledgeable in wines, history… you name it. Sumadija is beautiful, wines taste lovely but we missed some/any nibbles during the wine tasting except in winery Despotika were we got TUC crackers. This probably can be arranged with the wineries and its nothing to blame the guide. We recommend this tour from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you!
Magnificent tour stunning country. A must on any travelers to see list! What a gem.

5.00Our tourhost Andrija was professional, knowledgeable and fun to spend a day with. We visited and enjoyed Serbian wine while getting tours of each winery and learning about the history and artistic craft of each wine. The winemasters are proud of their product and enjoy sharing with guests. We also visited the Royal Winery along with its informative museum. This tour was spectacular in many ways. From learning about the rich history of Serbia snd its proud culture to seeing the breathtaking countryside. We will be booking another tour this week. Serbia is a wonderful country with warm welcoming people. Serbian Private Tours and their staff are wonderful ambassadors of this majestic country.

5.00Three wineries and lunch. My wife and I were just speechless. Our tour guide Vlada was outstanding. If I have to pick my favourite winery, it would definitely be Aleksandrovic due to their superb wines, but Despotika is placed in extraordinary landscape (and wines are definitely to look forward to). As for King's winery, it has to be seen from history perspective - it is a beautiful, beautiful winery, but right now doesn't have too much in wine offerings.
Excellent wine tour

5.00Being on a business trip to Serbia I especially wanted to get to know Serbian wineries, vineyards, methods and especially - wines. Group trip converted to a private trip due to low number of interested tourists, however I've got a chance to spend a fabulous day with Miljan, who not only knows about local wine industry, but shared a lot of other stories about Serbian culture, history, religious influence and customs. The selection of wineries is great - from state-owned to family-owned, from prosperous to just started and from big-money ones to local producers. This will give you the opportunity to see the spectrum of wine business in Serbia (at least the South region of Belgrade) and the wines they make. Add to it high level of professionalism, enthusiasm and a nice personal touch and you'll have a perfect day And this is what I've experienced :)
A great day out getting away from...
