Between the two world wars, Knjaževac had five thousand inhabitants and about fifty cafes. One cafe for a hundred people!
The tradition has been preserved in the municipality of Knjaževac. Pure natural environment, fertile land and traditional way of cultivation, form a healthy basis of local cuisine and quality local wines.
The kitchen of the municipality of Knjaževac is a mixture of flavors. There is food on the table that was born of centuries of experience and which is traditionally carefully balanced and energetically valuable. When it comes to food, the municipality of Knjaževac could be said to "breathe and smell". It is our custom to prepare a "feast" for the guest, no matter what time of day and meal it is, the hosts will do their best to meet all your wishes.
Don't miss to try ours, homemade, gibanica or proju with cabbage. The Knjaževac area is known for exceptional cheeses ("small" and "large") and quality brandies, so be sure to try them and feel their "charms".

Wine in the Knjaževac area is inseparable from history and tradition. Vineyards are grown with love, and indigenous grape varieties grow in them, such as Prokuplje, Vranac, and Plovdina. Burgundy, Smederevo, Italian Riesling, Chardonnay, Semion, Sauvignon are also grown ... In the winery "Jović" in Potrkanje, they "invented" "Višnjica", a unique fruit wine made from cherries.
In Knjaževac, there is a belief that when everything is over, God and wine will remain, so the cellarmen decided to found the Association of Winemakers and to take care of the "drink of the gods" together. In the spirit of old times and tradition, in cooperation with the Homeland Museum, they formed the Wine Museum in Ravna. It houses barrels with the best varieties of wine, a wine shop and antique equipment for storing and cooling wine.
The people of Knjaževac were engaged in viticulture even under Turkish rule. At that time, Knjaževac wine was especially appreciated, which was considered the best Serbian wine under the name "Timok".
In 1927, the Viticultural and Agricultural Cooperative was founded here, the third in Serbia at that time. The direct successor of the mentioned cooperative is the company "Dzervin", which was renewed in 2013, and today is a respectable company of importance for the entire region.
In the gastronomic offer of the Knjaževac region, a special place is occupied by prepržolj - a rich beef burger that is served with two slices of toast, coated with oil and allspice.
