There is a wine knight’s order “St. Theodor”, which got its name by the protector of the city. Vrsac harvest, known iby the locals as “Grape ball”, has a long tradition. Every year, on the third weekend in September, there is the traditional “Wine Fest” – a fair of wine, winegrowers and winegrowers.
The combination of peaceful Banat plains and lush greenery of the Vrsac mountains, is the main reason for the authentic and sophisticated taste of wines from this region. If we add this to the altitude of 90-250 meters and moderately continental climate, we get the ideal conditions for growing the vines.
