    ​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.
