Events like “Župska berba” in Aleksandrovac, ”Smederevska jesen” in Smederevo, ”Grožđebal” in Kovačica, or “Dani berbe grožđa” in Valjevo are a great opportunity for all lovers of wine – experienced sommeliers and curious visitors alike – to participate in the joy of the harvest, music, art and the abundance of wine made with soul.

With traditional parades, folk dances in traditional garb, and grape pressing competitions, these celebrations are there to awaken all your senses, expand your horizons and facilitate new friendships.

“Banoštorski dani grožđa” announce the beginning of the harvest on the northern slopes of Fruška Gora, and “Berbanski dani” at Palić celebrate the harvest of all fruits of autumn, not only grapes. “Oplenačka berba” has been held for over a century and offers a fantastic combination of wine, food and folk arts.

Enjoy the charms of the sunny vineyards where tradition, fun and explosions of flavours meet. With traditional parades, folk dances in traditional garb, and grape pressing competitions, these celebrations are there to awaken all your senses, expand your horizons and facilitate new friendships.

You can see harvesters press grapes with their feet, an old method of wine production used for centuries. Today, as part of these events, this method stands as a symbol of celebratory spirit and joy.
