Oplenac vineyards Beautiful view from Oplenac in the Topola on the vineyards of the Karadjordjevic family and unforgettable Serbian landscape in the distance. One November day in Sumadija, Central Serbia. King’s Winery Topola and Oplenac surroundings have always been known as a quality vine-growing and wine-producing region. A suitable moderate continental climate with regular temperature fluctuation and specific terrain configuration, mostly exposed to the east and south, influenced the earliest local population to grow the vine. The Ancient Romans named a neighboring village Vincea, after quality wine made of very fragrant and tasty local grapes. The first records on vine-growing in this region date back to 1432 as a travel book written by Bertrand de la Broquière, a Burgundian pilgrim and a clerk in the court of Philip III the Good. Grapes and wine are still a symbol of this region’s villages, therefore it proudly carries the title of the capital of Serbian vines.
