Blend of Flavors and Adrenaline - Where Running and Wine Create Unforgettable Experience!
Zupa, the homeland of Prokupac and Tamjanika, inspires many while being the ultimate purpose for others. A region that has been attracting visitors for centuries with its extraordinary nature, unique climate, vineyard-covered slopes, rich cellars, friendly people, and warm hosts.
The breathtaking views of endless vineyards and surrounding mountains have captivated numerous souls, while a glass of wine from this region offers an unforgettable experience for all senses.
That's how the French consul Decaux recorded in his diary when he first visited Zupa in the distant year of 1904.
Zupa, a gentle valley in central Serbia, nestled between the magnificent mountains of Kopaonik, Zeljin, Goc, and Jastrebac. It was here, over 7,000 years ago, that a settlement of the Neolithic Vinca culture thrived, and some of the most impressive divine figurines from that period were discovered.
The medieval fortress of Koznik stands as one of the best-preserved fortifications in Serbia, commanding a dominant position high above the Rasina Valley, the villages of Brus, the foothills of Kopaonik, and the Zupa of Aleksandrovac. Today, it continues to captivate visitors with its rich cultural and artistic events, as well as numerous hiking and adventure tours.
The Zupa Wine Run is a story that, thanks to the enthusiasm of several young people from the Zupa region, has been connecting sports, adventurers and lovers of heavenly nectar made of grapes for years. What sets this race apart from others is running through one of the most beautiful vineyards and the opportunity to taste the best wines of the region right on the track.
All you need to do is sign up, put on your most comfortable sneakers, and embark on an unforgettable adventure that will take you through beautiful vineyards and hidden hamlets, allowing you to experience the best that this region has to offer.
