Following Thomas Berry’s saying “The greater the diversity, the greater the perfection” we are excited and proud to offer you to get to know the province of Vojvodina with us. 

On this tour, you will have the opportunity to both get comfortably tucked into the tranquillity and serene scenery of the flat Pannonian Plain and the devoted silence of quiet monasteries, as well as to be mind-awaken by the richness of the area’s historical significance. Of course, a bit earthlier pleasures, when in this area, must also not be avoided - Bermet, a traditional type of wine, preserved and revived to its former glory, will bring both your mind and your body into balance during this exploration. 

If variety is indeed the spice of life, Vojvodina – with its wide diversity of languages, ethnic groups, religions, cultures, and traditions will surely contribute to your traveling experiences in more ways than you could have expected.

    Krusedol Monastery

    Have you ever heard that the Danube river also has its Gibraltar? Were you aware that Serbia also has its Athens? If you have thought that streets adorned with baroque architecture can only be found in Northern Europe, and the best wines are being enjoyed in Italy or France – our professional guides will reveal a whole new dimension of this world’s part to you. Meet our licensed guide at your Belgrade address for this full-day trip to the province of Vojvodina and its exciting, yet easy-going capital – Novi Sad. Enjoy an approx. 1-hour drive through the scenic Pannonian Plain adjoined with guide’s informative introduction talk, before you reach the area of Fruška Gora – the Serbian Holy Mountain, home to 16 monasteries. Your guide will lead you to the most prominent amongst them - Krušedol Monastery - built in the 16th century by the last Serbian medieval ruler. Learn about the history and legacy of this medieval center of Serbian culture, fresco art, and dreams of Liberation.

    We will continue to the multi-cultural town of Sremski Karlovci, once the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Habsburg Monarchy, As you stroll through the town’s baroque architecture, hear about the history of the Karlowitz Peace Treaty signing, as well as the town’s reputation for wine. This is home to Bermet, one of a kind dessert wine in the world. Of this royal nectar, once a favorite in all European courts, only 15 to 20 thousand bottles per year are being produced.
