Uvod If you visit Sremski Karlovci, you shouldn ' t bypass famous manifestation Grape dance, which lasts

three days . It takes place at the end of the September or early October. There you can see many popular singers and taste the famous wines of Karlovac . We particularly recommend Bermet wine, famous dessert wine produced from medicinal herbs and spices along with home-made dessert "kuglof". This region of small hills and valleys are covered with grape plantations and orchards. The climate and, more importantly, soil composition are ideal for the cultivation of not only grape vines, but also many different kinds of central European wine. Poloaj Sremski Karlovci, the "Baroque City" on the slopes of mount Fruska Gora and the right bank of the Danube is one of the most important spiritual and cultural centers of Serbia. During the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 18th and the 19th century it was the religious and cultural center of Serban people. The town of Sremski Karlovci is 10 km away from Novi Sad. It is well-known for good wine cellars and exquisite and delicious world wide famous wines with a 17 century long tradition. In some wine-cellars it is possible to taste the wines and the most famous wine-producers are families Kis, Petrovic, Bailo and Zivanovic. Vino Wine can be made from almost any fruit or vegetable, but grapes are the most popular and the most commonly used. It is a rare wine maker that uses fresh grapes for wine making. Preparation time and fermenting time is considerably longer with fresh grapes than wine that starts with grape concentrate. . There is even easy recipe that use frozen juice concentrate. Do some wine testing to find out what kind of wine you like before purchasing wine making grapes. Chances are if you like a type of wine that is professionally made, you will like the same type of wine when you make it yourself. It is fun to experiment, but it can be frustrating to spend the time on a batch of wine, wait for the fermentation process to finish, just to end up with bottles of wine that you cannot enjoy. RED WINE- the color contributes to taste. Red wine uses the flesh pulp and the skins of grapes. The color comes from the grape skin. WHITE WINE-the taste is different than red wine because the skin is not in contact with the juice. This also minimizes the tannin in the wine. Grapes are the main ingredients to the wine so choosing wine making grapes is very important. Take your time choosing which grapes you will use, so that you can make a wine that you will enjoy drinking. Recipe for making good wine every vineyarder jealously keeps to himself.

Manifestacija The Fruska Gora region had experienced its vine revolution in the late 18. Century, and it lasted almost to the beginnings of 1940'es. In that period small, family based farms (traditionally called ''salashi'') began to label and export their vines abroad, and the region started to build a reputation as a important, growing producer. But after the WW2, these farms were nationalized by the socialist government and merged into big collectives - this decision had effectively killed of all previous brands and the collective mentality gradually decreased the vine quality. The small farms are rebuilding their vine production - in the traditional, 19. Century manner. Today, many farmers make and brand their own vine, interested more in its quality instead of shear quantities. That's why the town of Sremski Karlovci organized the first Grape Dance in 1996. The festival doesn't have a long history, but it's proven to be very popular and almost certainly the most visited vine festival in the country. But unlike most festivals, Grape Dance is much more oriented towards live music. A big concert stage is erected in the middle of the town, and for the next 3 days a great number of artist perform there - almost every music genre is covered: starting from traditional and folk bands and musicians, classic orchestras, pop stars right to heavy rock and experimental band. Every September a grape manifestation is held in Sremski Karlovci, it is a must. This wine sorts were drunken for ages and became world wide famous. They were sold even farther from Vienna, Czech and Poland, Switzerland, Moldavia and Belgium and had their place in wine charts on ships traveling from Europe to America. There are many compliments to wine from Karlovci but the best proof is a red wine name Karlovci tovajn patented in Vienna. Recipe of wine sort from Karlovci named bermet is truly unequalled. These are the wine sorts of world wide unique and rare taste. Karlovci preserved tradition of wine-growing and wine-producing. The most famous wine became Karlovaki rizling Zakljuak Of course, you can try a lot of different vines in the small stalls and pavilions that line the neighboring streets. The producers of almost every brand are always present, so you can chat with them and find out more about their products. We think that main problem is the traffic jams that occur regularly, especially in the evening hours. Because of the terrain, there is only one main road (not counting the backwater roads that are of poor quality) that links Sremski Karlovci to the bigger surrounding cities. Also, there aren't enough parking spaces, although the town will probably deal with that soon. If you plan to visit the festival, you should go by train. Grape dance is a developing event. It started with very humble, but it's obvious that Sremski Karlovci administration and the wine-making community are working hard to improve it. We are certain it will only get bigger and better, because it is worth of visiting.
