Top Serbia Cooking Classes

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.
