7 6 2010For several years our town has proudly been called The Capital of Wine.
You may ask where this term comes from. Hopefully the following facts will provide sufficient evidence. Valtice has been renowned for vine growing and wine making for hundreds of years. Valtice accounts for the second largest area of vineyards in the Czech Republic, almost 642 hectares. The well known Křížový Cellar with the capacity of one million litres of wine, the historical chateau cellar and dozens of other smaller cellars and wineries can be found here.

2 4 2010The village of Velké Bílovice is situated in the south-eastern corner of the Velké Pavlovice wine making area. It is a traditional wine making village with vast vineyards accounting for the area of over 800 hectares and being the largest of its kind in the Czech Republic. By 1 May 2005 there were 933 wine makers here. The composition of the soil for vine growing is made up by windblown dusty particles with chalky clay underneath. In some areas with lower altitude the soil is a lot darker. This soil variety provides good conditions for growing the majority of wines, both white and red, red wines being of full body and pleasant bouquet.

Vintage in Czech Republic
Rubrika: Wine
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.
