NEGOTIN, Serbia - Wine has been cultivated in the border region between Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania for hundreds of years. But 15 years of civil strife have turned this part of eastern Serbia into a tourism and culinary desert.

However, that is about to change, thanks to what locals hope will be an influx of wine connoisseurs and tourists cycling along the nearby Danube Way or visiting archaeological sites.
