Golijska Suza is a family-owned distillery from the village of Trnava, nestled on the slopes of Mount Golija. We make our rakija the way we were taught by those before us — with no rush, no shortcuts, and a commitment to getting better every single year.
From the plum to the bottle, we do it all ourselves.
In our household, only one thing has been made for generations — šljivovica. That’s no coincidence. We know what we’re doing, and we stick to what we do best.
We’re especially proud of what sets us apart the most rakija made from the Moravka variety. An indigenous, almost forgotten plum. Small, yet full. Rare, yet unforgettable. From it, we create a monodistillate that leaves a lasting impression — bold in character, rich in aroma, and always crafted in limited batches.
The first plum trees were planted back in the 1940s.
Generations have come and gone, the knowledge passed down, and the rakija made year after year — the same, only better.
Around 2015, we enriched our orchards with new seedlings and expanded production — but without changing what matters most: the way we do things.
Today, everything still happens where it all began — in the village, among the people and the trees we’ve known our whole lives.
The same way. Just with more care.
One of the first competitions we entered was in Žitište, back in 2019 — and we came home with a gold medal.
Since then, the awards have kept coming, but we’re especially proud of winning the „Ajkulu“ for the best rakija of the festival at Voždovim danima rakije 2024.
It’s our biggest recognition so far — a true confirmation of our work and quality.
But just as important — maybe even closer to the heart — are the words of those who truly know and appreciate rakija. Their feedback reminds us we’re on the right path.
And that we shouldn’t change what’s already good.
In our home, we’ve been making just one thing for years – šljivovica.
That’s no coincidence. We know what we do, and we stick to what we do best.
We’re especially proud of our monodistillates – rakija made from indigenous plum varieties that are almost forgotten, yet worth every effort.
Moravka and Crvena Ranka – two different, yet equally special stories.
Moravka – a small and rare variety with an exceptional taste. From it, we make a monodistillate that’s hard to forget, strong in character, and rich in aroma.
Crvena Ranka – an old, delicate variety that gives a particularly recognizable monodistillate with a pleasant fragrance, complex flavor, and remarkable fullness.
Moravka and Crvena Ranka share the same origin, but each stands out with its own distinctive mark.
We have over 900 trees, three rakijas, and many more plans ahead.
In this craft, every step counts. That’s why we still do everything as a family — from harvest to bottling.
Golijska Suza isn’t just a name. It’s what people remember us by and why they keep coming back.
