The story

Vrsac Grape Harvest Days in Vršac

Vrsacka berba grozdja, the Vrsac Grape Harvest Days, celebrates a wine tradition documented in the town since 1494. Held over the third weekend of September in Vrsac, Vojvodina, the festival crowns a Wine Beauty Queen, stages a costume parade and carnival procession, and opens the town cellars along its wine road for tastings and tours.

Vrsac sits in the wine country of Banat, in Serbia's northern Vojvodina province, where vineyards have been documented since at least 1494, long before Serbia existed as a modern state.
