The main for the existence of wineries as a leading factor of wine tourism are the viticultural regions together with the tradition of growing grapes. Viticultural regions define the spatial distribution of wineries and define wine routes. Therefore, in this paper the author aims to present the main viticultural regions in the country which are the spatial basis and prerequisite for the development of wine tourism.
