It’s not often that we run into women as showrunners in the wine industry in the region, and that is only one of the reasons Smiljana Arnautović captivated our attention.

Her mother and step-father passed on to Simljana their life work, The “Raj“ Winery. And now, as the owner of this boutique winery in a fairy tale-looking historic place in Serbia, Rajačke Pimnice, Smiljana is engaged in the work of her winery to the smallest detail.

Funny, sharp, and highly dedicated to her vineyards and wines, Smiljana gives us a glimpse into the new generation of winemakers in Serbia.
