Mikulov Wine Region

The vineyards below the Pálava hills have a long tradition. As soon as in the 3rd century, the vineyards were established by the Roman legions. Further significant development of the viticulture in the region was recorded in the Great Moravian era. In the 13th century, the regions of Mikulov and Valtice became a part of the Lichtenstein family manor and wine trade was one of the main sources for living. The conditions for wine growing are ideal in this area, mainly for white grapes. The typical varieties of the area include Riesling, White Rulande or Chardonnay. The varieties Pálava and Aurelius were bread on Perná.

The town of Mikulov, dominated by local castle, has been the wine centre of the region for quite a long time. You can see the exhibition “Wine across the Centuries” or see the largest wine cask in central Europe in the Regional Museum in Mikulov.
