Vrsac is one of the most visited cities in Vojvodina. The main features of this city are the tower, famous vineyards and monasteries. The tower is located on the Vrsac bank above the city. Locals don’t know the exact time of its construction, but we can say that it was built around 15th century.
The architecture of Vrsac abounds in various styles that carry the history of the city. Among them are the most common baroque and secession. The first exhibition of wine in Vrsac was held in the cafe “Two Keys”, 1857. At the end of the 19th century there were more than 10,000 ha of vineyards in Vrsac. 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.
