Restaurant in Novi Slankamen, Serbia
Star-awarded wine atelier worth the detour.
Atelje vina Šapat is a Star Wine List-awarded (2026) wine atelier in Novi Slankamen, in Serbia's Srem wine region. Book it for a focused, wine-led visit rather than a full dining experience. Booking is easy, but weekend slots in peak season fill — contact at least one to two weeks ahead. Best suited to wine-focused travellers building a Vojvodina itinerary.
Atelje vina Šapat holds a 2026 Star Wine List award, which puts it in verified company with some of Europe's most carefully curated wine programs. For a traveller passing through the Srem wine corridor or making a dedicated trip from Novi Sad or Belgrade, that credential matters. Allocations at smaller wine ateliers in this region tend to be limited by season and appointment, so if your travel window is fixed, contact ahead as far in advance as your schedule allows. Walk-in availability is not guaranteed at venues of this type.
Atelje vina Šapat sits in Novi Slankamen, a village in the Srem subregion of Vojvodina, which is one of Serbia's most historically documented wine-producing areas. The Danube and Tisa rivers converge nearby, creating a microclimate that shapes the whites and reds produced in this corridor. The venue's Star Wine List recognition for 2026 signals that its wine selection meets an editorial standard applied across hundreds of venues internationally — a useful data point when you're deciding whether to make the detour from Novi Sad (roughly 25 kilometres away) or build a full day around the visit from Belgrade.
The format here is an atelier , a workshop or studio-style setting rather than a full restaurant or hotel bar. That framing matters for planning. If you arrive expecting a full brunch service with à la carte food, you may find the offering narrower than anticipated. For a weekend morning or midday visit, the most productive approach is to treat this as a wine-led experience, where food accompaniment , if offered , plays a supporting role. Explorers who have visited wine ateliers in the Fruška Gora and Srem regions will recognise this format: the visit is about tasting and learning the producer's range, not a meal with wine on the side.
For the wine-forward traveller, the Star Wine List credential is a practical filter. The award is given to venues, not just producers, meaning the curation and presentation of wine , how it's poured, explained, and structured for a visitor , meets a recognised bar. That separates Atelje vina Šapat from the many small-production wineries in the region that are worth visiting purely for the cellar experience but may not offer the same level of guided engagement with their list.
Booking is rated easy, which is good news if you're building an itinerary with a short lead time. That said, atelier-format venues in Serbia's wine regions typically operate on reduced hours outside peak season (late spring through harvest in October), and availability on weekend mornings can tighten during the summer wine tourism window. If a Saturday morning visit is your plan, reach out at least one to two weeks ahead rather than assuming an open slot. The address , Počenta bb, Novi Slankamen , places the venue in a residential village setting, so arrive oriented: GPS accuracy in smaller Serbian villages can be imprecise.

If you're pairing the visit with a meal, our full Novi Slankamen restaurants guide covers the dining options nearby, including Fleur de Sel (€€€€, Modern Cuisine, Contemporary), which is the area's most formally positioned dining option. For those building a longer trip through Vojvodina, Langouste in Belgrade is worth considering as a higher-end anchor restaurant before or after a regional wine day. Wine-focused travellers who benchmark Serbian programmes against international reference points may find comparison useful with venues like Arzak in San Sebastián or Arpège in Paris , not as direct peers, but as examples of how wine list curation intersects with the overall experience at awarded venues.

What to weigh when choosing between Atelje vina Šapat and alternatives.
Group capacity is not documented in available venue data, so contact the atelier directly before planning a large visit. Given the atelier format and rural Novi Slankamen location, smaller groups of two to six are the safer assumption for a focused, unhurried visit.
Dress code is not specified, but an atelier in a small Serbian wine village typically calls for neat, relaxed clothing rather than formal attire. Think comfortable layers suitable for a cellar or tasting room environment, particularly if visiting outside summer months.
This is a wine atelier in Novi Slankamen, in Serbia's Srem subregion of Vojvodina — not a casual walk-in venue. It holds a 2026 Star Wine List award, which signals a seriously curated wine program rather than a tourist-facing tasting room. Plan ahead: contact in advance, since there is no listed phone or website to check hours. The address is Počenta bb, Novi Slankamen 22323.
Yes, if wine is central to the occasion. The 2026 Star Wine List recognition puts it alongside Europe's more considered wine programs, which makes it a credible choice for a wine-focused celebration or anniversary. It is not the format for a large group dinner with a mixed crowd — keep it to guests who are genuinely interested in Serbian wine.
Alternatives depend on what you are after. For food-led experiences rather than pure wine focus, Istok or Salon 1905 in the broader region offer different formats. Bela Reka is worth considering if you want another Serbian wine producer visit. Langouste and The Square serve a different segment entirely. Atelje vina Šapat is the specific choice if a Star Wine List-recognised Serbian wine program is the point of the trip.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
