Imperator Winery is the only winery in Serbia that produces organic grapevine and wine in conformity with EU regulations and Serbian legislation. The winery is situated in the village of Rakovac, at its main road, within the Salaxija Winery.
It possesses a wine tasting hall for up to 50 persons, and a kitchen for a complete enological and gastronomical experience of organic food and wine. Within the winery there is a wine store, where in addition to the current harvests, certain archive wines may be purchased. Wine tastings are guided by sommelier / technologist, exclusively by appointment several days ahead.
In addition to classic wine tasting, we also organize Wine Schools for Lovers and various team buildings.
Organic Imperator wines are produced solely from grapes from our own organic vineyard.
The vineyard was erected in 2009, and was awarded the status of organic in 2015 for both grapes and wine. The status is renewed annually.
Remark: Over the harvesting season and grape processing we are unable to organize wine tasting, due to the technical reasons.
