To Velké Bílovice for the Winemakers
The dreamy South Moravian town of Velké Bílovice has an abundance of wine cellars. Almost every family owns a bit of a vineyard and a cellar. Every summer, they organise an event called To Velké Bílovice for the Winemakers. For a small fee, you can visit up to 8 cellars and taste the best wine they have. And how to find out which cellar is open? They’ll tell you that in the local information centre. Grab a map with the cellars, find the winemaker and start tasting. The event ends in the last week of August.
Traditional Feast and Top Wines from Pálava!
Local winemakers invite you to Pavlov, a wine-growing village at the foothills of the smallest Czech mountains – Pálava. You can taste the excellent Pavlov wine and tour the local historical cellars. Ten to twelve wine samples are offered in each. The list of open wine cellars is available in the Pavlov wine bar, or you can ask the locals. And if you come on 11 and 12 August, you will get to experience a real Moravian feast in traditional attire.
Historical Mutěnice Cellars
The oldest wine cellars in Mutěnice come from the 18th century! You will find some beautifully decorated spaces full of branded wine. In July and August, you can explore the individual cellars and winemakers during a tasting event, Okoštujte u vinařa. Every week, one winery will open, and you can taste about six to ten samples there. They are open in the evening from Friday to Sunday. Moreover, you can visit the Mutěnice Summer Wine Festival from 18 to 20 August when nine cellars owned by small winemakers and also regional microbreweries will be open to the public!The Best Wines in One Place
The Czech Wine Salon in the basement of the Valtice Chateau in South Moravia is a place that every wine lover should visit. The beautiful basement has a unique ambience, and you can enjoy tasting one hundred best wines from Bohemia and Moravia. The jury chooses the best 100 wines every year, awarded with the Wine Salon golden medal. And you can learn about the whole wine collection during several tasting events – either in the form of free tasting when you have 90 minutes to taste almost all the wines in the Wine Salon collection, or during one of the sommelier-managed tasting events.
