Legacy and Elegance: Inside Podrum Panajotović

Legacy and Elegance: Inside Podrum Panajotović
Tucked beneath the heart of Belgrade lies one of Serbia’s most exclusive and storied wineries — Podrum Panajotović. Far from the rolling hills of rural wine country, this urban cellar blends history, prestige, and oenological excellence in a space that feels more like a private club than a winery.
A Royal Heritage
The Panajotović family has deep roots in Serbian winemaking, tracing their lineage back to the royal court of the Karađorđević dynasty. Their cellar was once part of the King’s official wine stock, and that reverence for tradition continues to shape every bottle.
Located in the historic center of Belgrade, their underground wine cellar is carved into stone — naturally cooled and ideal for long-term aging. It’s not just a place for wine; it’s a place for atmosphere, history, and ritual.
Wines of Distinction
Podrum Panajotović specializes in limited-series wines, with extreme attention to detail. Their standout bottles include:
- Regent – a powerful red blend aged in oak barrels, often reserved for private clients and diplomatic gifts.
- Triumph Chardonnay – elegantly crafted with a creamy, mineral profile and subtle oak notes.
- Sparkling Selections – méthode champenoise sparkling wines aged on lees, offering both sophistication and surprise.
Each wine is crafted in small batches, and only select visitors can purchase directly from the cellar.
More Than a Tasting
A visit to Podrum Panajotović is not your average wine tour. Tastings are private, curated, and deeply personal — often accompanied by music, candlelight, and stories from the Panajotović family themselves. It’s one of the few wineries in Serbia where the experience is as rare as the wine.
