Vrsac and its surroundings have been known as viticulture area since the Roman rule. The first written data on Vrsac wine originate in 1494, when a Budim court steward paid 10 golden forint for the barrel of Vrsac wine intended for the Hungarian King Ladislaus. In the 19th century, Vrsac vineyards were among the biggest vineyards in Europe and stretched across 17.000 acres (10.000 ha). By the end of September there is a big Grape Harvest Festival Grozdjembal in the town of Vrsac which is surrounded with vineyards.
