Rvaši can be explored through several distinct themes: Vinarija Mrkan and Winery Ivan offer wine experiences, while Mala Crkva offers a glimpse into the area's architectural and local history. Rvaši is also on the 9.5-kilometre linear route from Rijeka Crnojevića to Karuč. There is one specific accommodation option: Mrkan offers lodging and local expertise. You should confirm availability before your trip.
Wine Tastings and Traditional Dishes
At Mrkan, wine tastings are offered in the wine cellar or on a balcony overlooking the vineyards. Advance confirmation may be required. The offering also includes small traditional dishes: smoked ham, cheese, olives, seasonal salad, Priganice and honey. You may also need to arrange the food in advance.
Vinarija Mrkan in Rvaši has a traditionally styled tasting room and a wine cellar. Winery Ivan in Rvaši offers a spacious tasting room with a terrace for up to 30 guests. These descriptions therefore suggest different settings for a visit: Mrkan offers a wine cellar and balcony as well as small dishes; Winery Ivan combines tasting facilities with a larger room and a terrace.
Winery Ivan combines traditional winemaking with modern techniques. In addition to wine and brandy, its products include liqueurs, homemade juices, jams and honey; availability may vary. In August and September, the winery offers seasonal tours of the vineyards and production facilities, tastings, and the opportunity to take part in the grape harvest. If these activities are important to your plans, check what is available before your trip.
Route and Activities
The linear route from Rijeka Crnojevića to Karuč is 9.5 kilometres long and runs via Meterizi and Drušići; Rvaši is also along this route. Its layout matters for planning: it runs between the named places and is not a circular route that starts and ends at the same point. This makes it possible to consider the route as a standalone planning option, without conflating it with other activity offerings.
Hiking and cycling tours, boat trips and kayaking excursions can be arranged for guests at Karučki Krš. Arrange activities with the household in advance. Guests can also help with the household's daily activities; confirm with the hosts whether this experience is available. The cuisine there consists of local dishes made with ingredients from the household, including carp or eel from nearby Lake Skadar.
Mala Crkva and Architectural History
Mala Crkva in Rvaši is a legally protected cultural and historical monument. The church was built in the late 18th century, after the Battle of Krusi in 1796. Its date provides a specific historical point of reference for the area, distinct from the wine and activity offerings. When choosing what to focus on, you can therefore weigh architectural history, wine and the activities mentioned without combining the different offerings into a single programme.
