Wine tasting in Pezinok: Meet a local winemaker

The winemaker shows you the cellar where the wine ages, then takes you to the vines.

Meet a local winemaker at their family cellar in Pezinok, Slovakia, where you taste traditional wine varieties, learn the winemaking process, and visit the vineyard in the Little Carpathians foothills. The experience includes a snack paired with wine, a drive to historical viticulture sites in town, and a guide who speaks English, Czech or Slovak. Non-drinkers, drivers and those under 18 receive grape juice instead.

The experience

The activity starts in the cellar where the wines age. You'll taste samples from the local varieties the winery produces, learn what makes each one distinct, and eat a snack (cheese, bread, olives and grapes) that pairs with the wines. The winemaker walks you through how they make wine and explains the specifics of the operation. Afterwards you travel by car to a few significant historical places in Pezinok connected to the town's viticulture and past.

The tour finishes in the vineyard, where you see how the grapes are grown and learn about the varieties planted there. You get to stand in the peaceful setting with a view across to the Little Carpathians. The whole experience runs around three hours, and bottled water is provided throughout. If you don't drink alcohol, are driving, or are under 18, grape juice replaces the wine tastings.
