Čerević: Winegrowing and Local History

• Belo Brdo is home to Vinarija Belo Brdo’s 20-hectare vineyard.
• Vinarija Verkat can be visited; at Belo Brdo, there is a tasting room for 30 visitors alongside the cellar.
• The Catholic parish is documented as early as 1198; the local history museum includes a literary archive and archaeological exhibits that are 50,000 years old.
• A road runs from Beočin along the Danube to Čerević and Banoštor.

The two wineries offer different reasons to visit. Visitors can tour Vinarija Verkat. Vinarija Belo Brdo has a tasting room for 30 visitors alongside its cellar. So the focus differs: a tour at Verkat and a tasting room at Belo Brdo. If you are planning your trip around a particular wine theme, this distinction can help you decide which offering to explore further.

Vinarija Belo Brdo’s 20-hectare vineyard is on Belo Brdo hill. The three white varieties are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling; the six red varieties are Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Marselan, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot. Muscat Hamburg is also grown as a table grape variety. This breakdown offers a concrete comparison within the vineyard: the list includes twice as many red as white grape varieties, with the table grape listed separately.

The Catholic parish in Čerević is documented as early as 1198, making it an early point of reference in the town’s history. An event represents a different, more recent aspect of its cultural heritage: a municipal report dated May 19, 2018, noted that “Čerević u maju” had been organized for the eighth consecutive time. The event helped preserve the traditions and cultural heritage of the area. An early religious reference and a later example of local tradition being maintained thus sit side by side.

The Čerević local history museum includes the literary archive of the poet Jovan Grčić Milenko. It also has an archaeological collection with exhibits that are 50,000 years old. These two sections have different focuses: one features a literary archive, while the other presents archaeological material. If you are interested in cultural history, you can distinguish between literary heritage and material evidence reaching far back in time.

A road runs from Beočin along the Danube to the settlements of Čerević and Banoštor. For route planning, this gives you three specific place names that you can look at together on a map to get your bearings.

Base your choices on the themes you want to focus on during your trip: winegrowing, local history, or both. If you are also considering Banoštor, include the road connection mentioned above in your plans and compare accommodation options with your own priorities.
