A little more about what we will visit

​

The history of wine-making in Serbia dates back to prehistory. Viticulture was rich during the Roman period. Wine has been part of Serbian culture since the establishment of statehood, especially during the reign of the Nemanjić dynasty (1166–1371), which encouraged and promoted viticulture. There are nearly 70,000 hectares of vineyards in Serbia, producing about 425,000 tons of grapes annually. The majority of Serbian winesare produced in local wineries. 

​

Winemaking in the Srem region is one of the oldest in Europe. The wine is an offshoot of fertile land in the jills of Fruška gora for 1700 years, when the first wines were planted by the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Probus of the ancient Sirmium. With the arrival of the Turks wine in Srem was almost destroyed. Gradually restored and reached full bloom during the Austro-Hungarian rule. Fruška gora is famous for its wines, which of course you can try at one of the more than 60 private cellars of wine producers. Fertile Pannonian land, centuries of experience in making wine and secret recipes have turned people of the Srem region into the most skillful winegrowers and winemakers, and the town of Sremski Karlovci into something like a “wine capital”.

​​

The old family winery Kish, with its wines and heritage, is the goal of many wine lovers when they come to Sremske Karlovci as the epicenter of Fruška Gora's wine history.

The Kish 1801 coat of arms printed on the label in the middle of the heart speaks of tradition and love for wine, and the modern technological approach and 15 hectares of vineyards in some of the historically best and most significant locations guarantee richness in the bottle and ultimate pleasure in the glass.

​

Staro Hopovo and Novo Hopovo are two monasteries located in Srem, Serbia, representing important religious and cultural centers. Staro Hopovo, founded in the 15th century, is characterized by authentic Serbian architecture, while the church in Novi Hopovo was built in the 18th century and has baroque elements. Both monasteries have significant icons and frescoes that bear witness to their rich history. Staro Hopovo is known for its residential buildings and manuscripts, while Novo Hopovo preserves rare literary monuments. These monasteries are a precious part of Serbian cultural heritage, attracting visitors with their spiritual atmosphere and artistic treasures.
