Step into the heart of rural Serbia and discover the soul of rakija – our national fruit brandy – at a family-owned distillery where tradition meets hospitality.
We welcome you to our estate for a warm and personal experience that begins with a short walk (seasonal) through our orchard, followed by a guided tour of our distillation process, combining traditional copper stills and modern methods.

The highlight of your visit is a curated tasting of five handcrafted rakijas – including plum, quince, apricot, and Williams pear – each one carrying a story, a season, and a scent of Serbia.

Enjoy the tasting alongside homemade meze: cheese, prosciutto, and fresh bread.
Your host, a former MasterChef Serbia contestant, brings culinary passion and family legacy together in this unforgettable experience.

It’s more than a tasting – it’s a cultural immersion, a family story, and a warm Serbian welcome served in a glass.

What to expect

You’ll meet your host at the agreed location and be guided by car to a private family distillery, nestled in the peaceful Serbian countryside. The experience begins with a warm welcome and, if the season allows, a short walk through the orchard where the fruit for rakija is grown.

Inside the distillery, you’ll explore the copper stills and learn about the traditional process of rakija-making, passed down through generations. Your host, a former MasterChef Serbia contestant, will share family secrets, production insights, and personal stories that bring the craft to life.

Then comes the tasting: five small-batch rakijas made from plum, quince, apricot, and Williams pear, each served with a selection of local, homemade snacks – including cheese, prosciutto, and fresh bread. Whenever possible, the ingredients are sourced directly from our garden and orchard, giving you a true taste of the region.

This isn’t just a tasting – it’s a moment of connection, laughter, and authentic Serbian hospitality.

By the end, you’ll understand why rakija is more than a drink – it’s a symbol of heritage, pride, and togetherness.
