Taste five Czech wines in volcanic vineyards, then lunch where a medieval castle overlooks the vines.

A 5-hour wine and food tour from Prague explores two working vineyards in the Bohemian Uplands, a landscape of extinct volcanoes with sweeping views. The guide leads tastings of Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, St. Laurent, Müller Thurgau and Gewürztraminer, then lunch at a winery restaurant, and a detour to a 200-year-old Jewish cemetery hidden inside one vineyard. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included; groups stay under 6 people. The tour runs in English or German.

The Experience

Leave Prague around 10am by air-conditioned 4x4 for a one-hour drive into the Bohemian Uplands, where the landscape shifts into something you won't find in the city. Extinct volcanoes have left behind basalt and marl slopes that rise and fall across the horizon—the kind of countryside that photographs stop traffic. Your guide knows the two vineyards on this route, both small enough that you can walk the rows and see how the soil changes the wine.

The first vineyard sits on basalt rock beneath a gothic castle, with views that stretch to distant mountains. The second grows on marl, and inside its boundaries stands a Jewish cemetery from the 1800s, a quiet space tucked between the vines that few visitors ever find. At each stop, the guide walks you through the winemaking process and the grower's work, then pours five wines—mostly white varieties that thrive in this climate. A welcome drink arrives first, then the tastings proper. Between the vineyards, you'll eat lunch at a local winery restaurant, where the food is built around what grows and gets made here. The guide answers questions about Czech history, the countryside, and the life people live in these villages; the conversation shapes the afternoon as much as the route does.

The tour wraps around 5pm when the driver takes you back to your hotel. Groups stay small—a maximum of 6 people—which means the guide can move at a pace that works for everyone and the tastings don't turn into a crowd. Bottled water and lunch are included; wine is yours to taste and, if you want, to buy for home.
