You are welcome to join us on a memorable excursion to Oplenac, Topola, nestled in the renowned Šumadija region of Central Serbia. Expect a beautiful journey through history, richness of cultural heritage, and wonderful nature. We will visit the Church of St. George, commissioned by King Peter I as a mausoleum for the Karađorđević royal family, where five official state leaders of Serbia and Yugoslavia rest, along with 24 close members of the royal family. Surrounded by a serene oak forest, the church boasts an impressive mosaic interior covering 3570 square meters, with over 40 million mosaic pieces crafted in Murano, Italy, depicting compositions from 60 Serbian monasteries across the Balkans. In the Royal Winery we'll learn about wine production techniques dating back to the 1930s, and explore the underground cellar that once stored tons of Royal wine. To conclude, we'll savor a delightful dinner at a Winery Tarpoš.
