By late morning, you are standing among vineyards just outside Belgrade, tasting a Morava — a local white variety rarely seen outside Serbia. An hour later, you are walking through a preserved royal cellar built for a dynasty that played a central role in shaping the country, with a clearer sense of how wine was used and understood at the time. As the day continues, the settings become more informal and direct. Between the final tasting and lunch in a small family-run winery, the region begins to connect into a single, more understandable whole.

Each stop shows a different approach — from indigenous varieties and modern production to royal heritage and small-scale family winemaking.
Tasting Morava and Prokupac is not positioned as novelty, but as context. These wines help explain what makes Serbian viticulture distinct, beyond international styles.
The visit to the King’s Winery is not just historical background. It clarifies how vineyard development in this region was influenced by political ambition and long-term planning.
The final stop connects food, wine, and conversation directly with the winemaker (and certified sommelier), turning the meal into a continuation of the day’s story.
After pickup from your accommodation in Belgrade (typically around 10am), you leave the city and enter the Šumadija region, where vineyards gradually replace urban landscape.
The first stop is in the village of Vlaški Do at Despotika Winery, a younger but ambitious producer focused on indigenous Serbian grape varieties. Here, you are introduced to wines such as Morava and Prokupac, with time to understand how these varieties are being reinterpreted in modern Serbian winemaking.
From there, the route continues toward Topola, the center of the Šumadija wine region. On the slopes of Oplenac hill, you visit the King’s Winery, historically linked to the Karađorđević royal family. The preserved royal cellar offers a clear view into how wine was produced here in the early 20th century, along with access to the archive where bottles dating back to the 1930s are still kept.
The day then moves forward to Aleksandrović Winery, one of the key producers in Serbia since the 1990s. The visit combines a modern production setting with strong continuity of tradition, particularly through their well-known Trijumf wines. While tasting, you learn how this label connects back to the royal wine story introduced earlier in the day.
The final stop takes place in a smaller, family-run winery in a rural setting. Here, the experience shifts from structured tastings to a more personal setting, where lunch is served alongside the winemaker’s own wines. As both host and certified sommelier, the winemaker presents his wines through food, conversation, and everyday practice, offering a different perspective on the same region.
After lunch, the return journey to Belgrade follows, with arrival in the late afternoon.

I really enjoyed my experience with the private tour company! We elected to do a whole day of touring with three wineries, that ended with a wonderful lunch. The tour guide was impressive in his depth of knowledge, navigation, and patience! We enjoyed each and every winery, and they were even able to arrange for a tour in a winery’s off-season! The wineries had great wines that were well explained by Andrija, and the winery staff were hospitable and generous – we even got several extra pours! Highly recommend this specialized tour to make your time in Belgrade more special!

Miljan took us on a lovely day of wine tasting in Serbia’s Sumadjan wine region, including a visit to 4 totally different wineries. We loved all the delicious whites made from the morava grape at the Despotika Winery as well as their onsite Wine Museum. Then we visited the almost totally remodeled historic Kings’ Winery where we found both the Triuf wines available for tasting as very approachable to our palates. Our favorite wine of the day was the sparkling at the well-established and very lovely and professional Aleksandrovic Winery. We finished at the Trilogia Winery where we were able to hear the personal story of its mid-life career changing winemaker who shared with us the challenges facing a small family owned winery. He also made us a delicious lunch to pair with his wines. We highly recommend this wonderful wine tasting day to all wine loving Serbian tourists!
