Wine
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.
'Wine Tasting Break' includes:
Personally met and transferred conveniently to and from
your centrally located hotel.
Two

Your guide will meet you at the hotel and firstly
take you on a tour bus around Prague for 3 hours. Afterwards you
will be taken to the Presidential Castle on foot, crossing the
Charles Bridge to enter the Národní banka vín
(National Bank of Wines).
