Valtické podzemí – labyrint historických vinných sklepů

Location: Vinařská č.ev. 47, 691 42 Valtice · South Moravia

Category: wine cellar

A unique labyrinth of 13 interconnected historic wine cellars dating back to the 13th century, when the Minorites founded a monastery here. The total length of the passages is 900 metres, and the cellar spaces are full of historic atmosphere. The tour is suitable for children; the offer includes wine tastings, and in summer there is cimbalom music every Saturday.

Why visit this place?

• In 1544 the monastery buildings were dismantled and only the church of Nanebevzetí Panny Marie and the cellars survived; during the Hussite wars they hid people and cattle.
• The cellars also hold a collection of heraldic bricks, loess sculptures and fossils. In 2018 the site won the title Champion TOP Vinařský cíl České republiky.
• Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 649 visitors on Google Maps.
• Allow roughly an hour; the programme is aimed at lower primary, upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 31 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• The whole programme is indoors, so rain is not a problem.
