Salaxia Winery (Vinarija Salaxia) is a family story created at a place where viticulture has driven life for centuries. Like many other wineries at Fruška Gora, this one, owned by the Tadić family, inherited not only the tradition but also the idea that wine included not only the properties of the area it was grown at, but also the soul and heart of the winemaker who created it. Part of the vineyard of this wine house is located in Rakovac, in the immediate vicinity of the winery, and since the 2022 harvest has organic status. Two white wines, Plana and Galaxia, come from this vineyard, located in extreme conditions.
The assortment of grapes [1] which is the basis for the production of wine of this house consists of: Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Rhine Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Vranac. They offer red and white wine Bela vrana, as well as Burlesque and Burlesque Noir rosé and white wines.
The wines of Salaxia Winery are the product of the owner’s life philosophy turned to the noble ideal of creating the mystery of wine with love and creative energy, which, only in the experience of the drinker, takes shape, measure and emotion. Everything here is subordinated to hedonistic beauty that defies everyday life and transience. Food that is served – mushrooms, goat cheeses, meat, snails, organic vegetables, and spice herbs come to the table from the immediate surroundings.
The tasting room, the garden that directly places visitors in the shade of the Fruška Gora forest beauty, and the wine shops are part of a complete system for the scheduled groups of visitors that celebrates wine and loves visitors. Wine buying and tasting with snacks that serve to separate the wine varieties are possible for individual visits.
Opening hours: Monday to Friday 08:00 a.m. – 04:00 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays 09:00 a.m. – 05:00 p.m. (the announcement for group visits is mandatory at least one day in advance)
