About Museum of Beekeeping – Wine House Živanović

In the family home in Sremski Karlovci, with a yard of over 200 hives and around a hundred tools his grandfather used, Borivoje Živanović founded the family beekeeping museum in 1968. Today his great-grandson Žarko keeps the honey flowing with modern methods. A visit tells the story of beekeeping and of vine growing on Fruška Gora, and the tasting pours seven wines and three honeys. The real treat is the underground cellar, about 250 years old and among the oldest in Serbia: 27 metres long, five wide, and a steady 13 °C whatever the weather outside. Booking is required.
