Wine tasting in PragueWine Tasting

Without an exporting tradition, the wines of the Czech Republic are little known outside of its borders, but over the past decade there has been a huge resurgence in the popularity of Czech wine and those in the know are saying it will be found more and more on shelves in the West in the near future.

The history of wine in the Czech Republic is a long and fascinating one - in the 14th century, Emperor Charles IV, who had been educated in the French court, began importing Burgundy grapes from France. By doing so, he turned Prague into a prosperous centre of viticulture. There are many varieties of grapes grown here, White Reisling, Pinot Blanc, Neuburger, Sauvignon, Pinot Gris, and even Chardonnay.
