The Negotin Valley rewards travellers who want more than a quick tasting stop. Its defining experience is the network of traditional pimnice—settlements of stone wine cellars around villages such as Rajac and Rogljevo—combined with active wineries across the wider valley.
Why travel this route
- Walk through historic cellar villages built specifically for making and storing wine.
- Meet producers working in one of Serbia’s most distinctive eastern wine landscapes.
- Turn the visit into a rural overnight trip rather than a rushed day excursion.
Plan your visit
