1. Red stone castle
A Red stone castle is a well preserved renaissance fortress hidden in the hills of Small Carpathian mountains. Castle tells the stories of many counts and nobles living here. When exploring this place you will surprisingly learn about the biggest copper concern of its age in the world. Really interesting story. In the summer you can enjoy here a falconry shows, medieval knights and even a local wine tasting in old bastions.
2. Wine growing towns
Did you know that Bratislava region has a rich wine growing tradition, that we can track back to the 13th century, even further? And did you know that actually Slovakia is one of the most northern regions for vine growing in Europe?
There are several small towns from which we can mention Svätý Jur, Pezinok & Modra. The first one is also a town monument reserve with well preserved architecture.
3. Walk in the vineyards
To make a nice ending of this tour we suggest to walk in the Small Carpathian vineyards. This will make your whole experience even more pleasant, because you will really feel the countryside and make a whole image of the region. We promise – will take you to the best locations we know. If weather & timing will be good the sunset will accompany us.
4. Wine tasting in
Small Carpathian region
If you are a wine lover or if you are just curious enough to experience a wine tasting in Small Carpathian region, we strongly suggest to add this event to your tour.
We know many excellent local winemakers and we can either visit charismatic old wine cellars (up to 500 years old), genuine local wine taverns with a cozy atmosphere or absolutely modern wine venues with brand new technologies. You will „taste“ the flavor of this region and know more local people.
If you are lucky
Local feasts, wine routes & festivals
If you are lucky with timing, we will definitely take you for the wine celebrations or festival. These events take place in small wine towns and the atmosphere there is just amazing. You will find there lots of good wine & food and in the autumn also a special grape drink „burčák“. Please, when making a booking of this tour, ask us if there is any event going on.
