The monastery is the endowment of Despot Stefan Lazarević, the son of Prince Lazar. The vineyard and winery are part of the Koporin monastery, and the vineyard itself was planted in 2011 and covers 4 hectares. From all sides, there is an enchanting view of Momajska slope, the monastery and the outlines of Šumadija. On the hills of Šumadija, on the edges where the Koporin is placed, the cult of the vine has been nurtured for centuries, so it is just above the monastery walls, in the place where vineyards used to be, in 2011 the bishop built a new vineyard on four hectares, and later three more hectares. Over the years, from the first harvests, it began wine production, at first modest, is now, however, quite serious. Parallel to raising vineyards, the construction of a cellar for wine production took place, but also a modern building for all other needs of the winery, ie wine tourism. Somewhere in may.
