Editor: Marko Dragisic
Sommelier: Jelena Peric
Genre: Documentary
A Taste of Serbia will introduce you to Serbia’s history of wine, culture, and traditions of wine production. Starting with an ancient blessing of the vines ceremony.
14th of February belongs to St. Trifun. In Serbian tradition, he is well known as the Patron Saint of wine and winemakers. On this day, with a special prayer and blessings from the priest, they symbolically cut one piece of vine and then pour wine on the scarified part. It is believed that this custom will bring a rich harvesting year.
We will witness this in the region of “Zupa” Aleksandrovac. It is well known for one of the largest wine harvests in the region. This visit we meet and chat with young female winemakers and heritage vineyards. Learn about the history of viticulture in this region, including a unique traditional Museum of wine and winemaking. From Medieval outposts to sampling the heavenly nectar of the region...Join us on this little adventure!

Moving Hearts is about the Floods that devastated a nation and brought them back together.
Serbia-May 2014. Ordinary people stories.
1. The floods.
2. The aftermath- survival -Livelihoods and homes have been completely destroyed.
3. What now? From December 2014 till present, and people still have no where to live.....
Our aim is to get more exposure to the situation. We are very grateful to all the people who kindly participated in the Interviews to help get a positive message out to the world, real people real heartfelt stories.
Not one person in the Documentary asked to tell their story; we found them and explained our concept and why we are filming the Obrenovac Floods of 2014..... to show to people worldwide that in this tragedy /adversity, people were united and helped each other from their hearts.
I trust that we succeed in showing the true character of the Serbian people (positive light) and their stories from their hearts and help get their lives back on track in the best way possible.
Thank you to all the wonderful people of Obrenovac who helped us on this very emotional filming journey.
Monies received will assist in rebuilding family homes.

Wonder Women of Wine is a new inspiring TV Series which is honouring women winemakers, their wines, and their stories. Wine is visually provocative, the place where it comes from, and the people that make it: when this is brought to the screen the winemakers, their eccentricities, their influences and motivations can provide an enlightening window into the authentic culture and history of the place they come from. We will be visiting exotic culturally wine regions that have been in the world's shadows for far too long. Our TV series is also showcasing women within the greater context of regional culture, history, quirky, legend, mythology, unique travel destinations, and food for the soul which brings true stories blending and completing the circle of the vine. This is a real show about wine and winemakers that is entertaining incorporating the country's finest, visual and enlightening. This TV series has been in the making since 2010, the time i started my epic journey in discovering women winemakers in the European region eventually expanded to the world. We are very fortunate to have discovered incredible lady winemakers from Asia, Africa to Australia. Exciting, empowering stories are coming soon to you.
