Morning
Short trip to Oplenac and the King’s Cellar
Oplenac, the unofficial capital of the Karadjordjevic Dynasty is located on a hill above Topola, some 80 km south Belgrade. Oplenac features the magnificent mausoleum of the Karadjordjevic Royal family, which may be seen from great distance and represents a specific road sign towards Topola.
The church of St. George was built during the early 20th century and is one of the most beautiful orthodox churches in the world. The inside of the church is covered with mosaics from floor to ceiling, showing biblical scenes, kings and saints. The design of a large number of replicas of the most significant and beautiful frescoes from Serbian medieval monasteries took more than 60 million colourful pieces. Vozd Karadjordje (the founder of the Dynasty), two kings, two dukes, princes, princesses and other members of the Royal family were buried in the crypt of the church. Royal villas and vineyards, wine cellars and the house of King Peter I the Liberator, currently featuring a museum and a gallery, may be seen in Oplenac. Karadjordje town – an authentic place from the period of the First Serbian Uprising against the Turks in 1804, may be visited in the nearby town of Topola, including Karadjordje’s house and a small church.
King Peter II Karadjordjevic in his memoirs wrote …”it worked for plenty of grapes around the home of our ancestors in Topola. My grandfather King Peter I, sold other property to make this spread”.
The area around Topola and Oplenac has indeed always been known for growing grapes. Favourable climate and the terrain itself are optimal for growing grapes and making wines. Since the Foundation produces wines exclusively from grapes produced in Oplenac, sales are limited.We offer the possibility of taking a closer look at vineyards and winery accompanied by skilled guide, as well as wine tasting to go together with some local finger food.
