Shared Wine Tour from Belgrade: Small Group Visit to Šumadija Wineries

Taste Serbia’s key wine styles in one day without figuring out where to go or how to connect them.

Tour at a Glance

What to Expect From the Shared Wine Tour in Sumadija

The day begins with a drive out of Belgrade, but it quickly shifts once you’re seated at a tasting table in Vlaški Do, where Morava is poured and the first reactions around the group start to differ. In Topola, you step into a cool underground cellar built for the royal family, where rows of bottles from another era change the tone of the visit. At the final winery, glasses are filled again, but now the conversations come easier — comparing impressions, recognizing styles, connecting what you’ve seen. By the end, what started as three separate visits begins to come together into a clearer picture of the wine region.

If you prefer a more personal setting, you can explore our private alternative — the Royal Footprints Wine Tour.

Highlights

• Three wineries that show different “layers” of Serbian wine:
  This is not repetition of similar tastings. Each stop represents a different moment — young and ambitious, royal production, and modern commercial success — which helps you understand why Serbian wine looks the way it does today.
• Tasting wines you are unlikely to encounter elsewhere:
  Morava and Prokupac are still relatively rare even within Serbia. Trying them on-site, where they are explained in context, makes the experience more than just tasting unfamiliar labels.
• A shared group that still feels manageable:
  The group format lowers the cost, but remains small enough that visits don’t turn into waiting lines or fragmented explanations.
• Access to a preserved royal wine cellar:
  The King’s Winery is not presented as a museum piece, but as a working reminder of how wine production once supported state identity. Walking through it changes how you interpret what comes later.

Tour Flow

#YourSerbiaHost will pick you up at 10am from centrally located pickup point (exact location is provided in booking confirmation).

Despotika winery

The day begins in the village of Vlaški Do with a visit to Despotika winery. This younger producer focuses on indigenous Serbian varieties, including Morava (white) and Prokupac (red). As only a small number of wineries work with Morava, this stop provides a clear introduction to local grape identity, along with a broader tasting of their range.

King’s Winery

From Vlaški Do, the route continues to Topola, the center of the Šumadija wine region. Here, you visit the historic King’s Winery, originally developed by the Karađorđević royal family. The preserved underground cellar and archive — with bottles dating back to the 1930s — provide context on how wine production once functioned at a state level. Tastings focus on current wines, not archival bottles.

Aleksandrović winery

The final winery represents the modern phase of Serbian winemaking. Aleksandrović combines contemporary production with continuity of earlier traditions, particularly through their Trijumf label. During the visit, you’ll taste a selection of their wines while learning how this style connects back to the royal vineyards seen earlier in the day.

Lunch break

After the tastings, lunch is planned at a local restaurant in Topola. The meal is à la carte and not included in the tour price. The restaurant offers a good selection of regional dishes along with Šumadija wines, providing a natural continuation of the wine experience.
