This month in Serbia: Pudarski dani (Vineyard Guards Days)

2014-09-15 by Aleksandr Shatskih

Kloster Grgeteg not far from Irig - by Ebs Els

Coming September 18th through 20th to Irig, the “Pudarski dani” is one of the region’s most fascinating and authentic wine events. According to tradition, PUDAR is a vineyard guard pitted against starlings and other vineyard thieves of all sorts bent on destroying the harvest. Through a procession of rattling and using clappers like animated scarecrows, the guards war off those vermin. And just in time for the grape harvest in late September.
