Stop At: Winery Despotika, Vlaski do, Smederevska Palanka Serbia
Our first wine stop is the village of Vlaški Do and Despotika winery, a newly established 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 few winemakers in Serbia grow Morava, so you’ll have a unique opportunity to try this white wine. Of course we won’t stop only with Morava, there are many Despotika’s wines to taste.

Stop At: Rujevica, Drača bb, Drača, Serbia
From Despotika winery we have around an hour drive through breathtaking landscape of lush Sumadija until we reach our second stop. Rujevica winery is a charming household owned by local family and it is a perfect place to experience warm hospitality with great food and amazing wines. At the moment Rujevica offers only four wine labels, but all of them are superb, which you’ll have the opportunity to experience on your own together with selected food during lunch and wine tasting.
