18 9 2009The celebration of wine harvest comes to Moravia with first Burčák (young, slightly fermented wine). The wine harvest of Pálava is one of the most famous ones. The people of Mikulov celebrate their rich harvest from their vineyards, the arrival of autumn but also the 600 year-old-tradition.
People had their first celebration in the square as far back as in 1403 when the lord of Mikulov, John of Lichtenstein, liberated the Czech king Wenceslas IV, the son of king Charles IV from his captivity in Vienna. The arrival of the king was then boisterously celebrated. And it is still celebrated today. The wine harvest of Pálava stands for three days of Burčák, wine, singing and happy crowds.
