About Vinarija Kovačević

It began with one small family vineyard on the southern slopes of Fruška Gora above Irig, and Miroslav Kovačević made his first wine in 2001. In 2013 he revived Podrum 1930, a historic Irig cellar founded by local winegrowing families, and today its barrique hall, amphora cellar and wine archive are part of the visit. Since 2019 the vineyards have been converting to organic growing, with long macerations and Georgian-style amphora wines alongside traditional sparkling wine. Book a tour of the cellar, or a tasting menu at the Vinska kuća pairing the estate’s wines with Fruška Gora and Vojvodina cooking.
