THE TRACK
The Hike is a 12 km long trail that allows for beautiful hike, bike or run, together with sightseeing vineyards of the hillsides of Fruška Gora.
Difficulty level
DIONYSUS is not a race or competition. No medals or trophies will be awarded. But that doesn’t mean it will be super easy. Wavy terrain on a dirt track, combine with possible sun or rain, route will require both your attention, preparation and effort. For those who are not in athletic form, the challenge could be a real struggle. For all of you who are in good shape — e.g. you do a training once or twice a week — it won’t be any sort of problem.
If you are a sportsman, and why wouldn’t you be (?), you can pass the route by running (estimated time 90 minutes to 2 hours), walking without or with nordic poles (3 to 4 hours), or by riding a mountain bike (from 2 to 3 hours).
Refreshment points
There will be refreshment points on the route. Participants could refill their water bottles, have a portion of small finger food, and most important – taste the wine made from grapes grown from the vineyards you are passing. Note that we will serve a degustation doses on refreshment points, so you can finish the track without getting drunk. Tipsy maybe.
WHAT TO BRING
We kindly ask every participant to bring: a bottle of water, a bug spray, a mobile phone, sports apparel, and proper walking or running shoes. If you ride a bike, having a helmet is mandatory.
Bring your picnic blanket if you are into a more relaxed way of experiencing the hike.
THE MATINEE
The matinee at the DEURIĆ Experience 2024 starts with the return from the morning’s trek. Participants can freshen up and change in a temporary dressing room. This is followed by a lunch service offering an array of delicious meals catering to various dietary preferences, accompanied by a selection of Deurić’s finest wines.
Post-lunch, attendees have the opportunity to tour the Deurić Winery. This tour includes a visit to the winery’s viewpoint, the highest spot in the Deurić Winery, which offers a view of 120 hectares of apple plantations and 30 hectares of vineyards. After an introduction to the history and continuation of the winery, the tour proceeds to the production area where guests will get a detailed insight into the three stages of wine production process.
The tour ends in the wine cellar, a unique blend of modern and traditional design, where all produced wines are archived. The cellar includes a barrique room that was specially designed for winery Deurić. The tour lasts about 20-30 minutes and provides a comprehensive understanding of the art of winemaking at the Deurić Winery.
After the tour, there are optional sports activities available, including table tennis, badminton, speedminton, and volleyball, to keep the energy levels high and provide a fun, interactive atmosphere. The matinee can optionally conclude with a finger-food or dessert serving, providing a sweet ending to this eventful day.

HOW TO PREPARE
As it’s the whole day experience, it’s good idea to set yourself well.
Travel by car
If you come by your car, make sure to know exact location of the reception desk (starting point). Plan your trip according to the event schedule, you should get to the location
Parking
There is allocated parking for participants at the event location, within walking distance from the reception. Please make sure not to leave your car blocking others on the parking.
Where to stay overnight
It’s a good idea is to stay overnight or plan the whole weekend trip so you don’t need to drive back home while being tipsy. Plan your stay in nearby places. There is plenty of accommodation in Mala Remeta, Jazak or Vrdnik.
Hiking equipment
Please bring water with you, and dress appropriately for the time. Hats, sunglasses, suncream in the sun, and a shell jacket in the rain. All participants should have hiking or trail running shoes.
A wardrobe and separate changing rooms for men and women are available at the start. They will be open from the start till the end of the event.
Get the map on our phone
Make sure you have a Komoot app installed on your phone. It will help you find your way on the track in case you get lost (like it might happen eh?). If you are a paid Komoot user, you can easily use it to navigate your way and get back on track.
Upon arrival
You go directly to the reception desk to pick up your pass and welcome pack.
FAQ
Are kids allowed?
No, we think you need a break. Dionysus Experience events are 18+.
Transfer
The shuttle bus transfer from Belgrade to the event location will be organized at additional cost. Make sure you mark I want shuttle bus transfer when registering for the event.
Accommodation
There are many bed and breakfast places around the event location, so feel free to book on your own. Reach out to us over email or social networks if you need support.
Are there other places to visit nearby?
Of course. We choose places that sit in wonderful nature, surrounded by numerous soul-soothing spots. It’s easy to just google around the location and you will find many of them waiting for you to spot them.
Is the event dog friendly?
Surely. Dionysus loves dogs. We will ask you to put your dogs on a strap during lunch, while the lunch is served in a picnic-like atmosphere.
Is there a shop where we can get wine to bring home?
It’s debatable how this question is frequent, but we were obliged to put it here due to the terms we have with the host. But yes, there will be a shop at the event location where you can fill your bags with bottles. The wine prices are usually more popular at the source.
What happens if weather gets bad?
Small rain and wind are no problem, but heavy rains that last for several days will change the experience a lot. Your hiking experience could be transformed into mud swimming and no Instagram photos with that gold vineyard picnic will be taken. We as organizers have a right to postpone the event to one week later, but we will know that half of you won’t come. You as a participant can buy insurance for the event which will grant you 80% of the ticket price for whatever reason you want to cancel your participation.
