The Fruška Gora village of Neradin, in addition to Perkov’s “salaš” farmstead, has also had Tadić Winery (Vinarija Tadić) since 2017, another tourist attraction that is slowly gaining its own audience. In the centre of the village, near the Church of St. Nicholas from the first half of the 18th century, there is a purpose-built brick building of the winery, now owned by Goran Tadić, an educated expert in viticulture and fruit growing.
For centuries now, the Tadićs have lived cultivating the land and always had vineyards and their own wine for all seasons. The knowledge and skills of vineyards cultivating and wine making were passed from father to son, so the modern winemaker Goran Tadić, young in years, in addition to knowledge appropriate to the modern age also inherited those long-term ones that he learned directly from his grandfather Vladimir and father Borislav. The part of the history of Fruška Gora winemaking where rich monastery estates gave their contribution through the introduction of new varieties and technologies should be included here as well, and the Tadićs remember the engagement of their ancestor Emilijan Baić (1848-1896), the prior of the Ravanica Monastery in Vrdnik, after whom one of the wines of the Tadić Winery is named.
On 6 ha of vineyards, Goran Tadić cultivates the following assortment of grapes[1]: Rhine Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Muscat Hamburg, and in the spring of next year he will start planting autochthonous grape varieties: Slankamenka, Neoplanta, Sila and Probus. The wines on offer are: Tadić Chardonnay, Tadić Emilijan (Merlot), Lola Rose, while Tadić Rhine Riesling is waiting to be bottled, although the wine has already been awarded.
Tadić Winery also offers excellent bulk wine: White Wine (Rhine Riesling and Chardonnay), Red Wine (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) and Rose Wine (Pino Noir and Muscat Hamburg). These are quality, fresh wines obtained from grapes from their own vineyards with the minimal use of oenological agents. In that process, Goran Tadić is the leader, initiator and direct participant in every, even the smallest vineyard keeper’s and wine business.
It could be said that the wines of Tadić Winery retain the love and dedication of winemakers who strive to squeeze grapes into wine that is then quickly sold in Irig and its surroundings, Mačva, and some of it reaches Novi Sad, Ruma, Sremska Mitrovica and Belgrade. Quality awards were not missing either, and the following will be mentioned here: Rivica Wine & Food Festival 2020 (absolute winner and gold award for Tadić Chardonnay 2019, silver for Tadić Rhine Riesling 2019, gold for Red Wine 2019 and White Wine 2019).
A pleasant wine tasting hall with about twenty seats is available to the visitors of the Tadić Winery. The programme of visit includes a tour of the winery with mandatory announcement, wine tasting with appropriate snacks for separating the wine, a story about the wines of the house and the purchase of wine.
A tour of the winery will show neat spaces equipped with modern stainless steel wine tanks, and the glazing of the courtyard space is underway, which will expand the wine tasting space and bring it closer to the space for grape processing and wine storage. Plans for the expansion of the winery are in the final phase, and there are those who will raise the offer of the winery to a new level by building a new building that will contain a wine cellar, wine tasting room and accommodation facilities, which will be built at the entrance to Neradin.
Tadić Winery has sprung from the fruits of land that has been a family property for centuries, respect for tradition and nurturing those modern knowledge and skills that bring back the faith into life in the countryside, offering the urban population wine, flavours and aromas of a time when it was easier to be associated with one’s own origins and roots.
Opening hours: Monday to Sunday from o 08:00 a.m. to 04:00 p.m. Announcement is mandatory for organised groups.
