Wine trip: Válka winery

To popular demand, we have created a new “wine trip” for our expats.

Join us for a hike through vineyards and meet winemaker Vojta Válka in his family winery, learn about wine, taste local products, explore a new place, and meet new people.  

Arielle DeSoucey picked a winery for us: “I’ve used Válka’s wines in tastings before, and they are always a big hit. They are certified organic, produce whites, roses, and reds, and are just really great, friendly people. Vojta speaks English perfectly, so it would be the ideal scenario for you. Plus, I like the fact that they’re still a family winery, and they are only 30 minutes from Brno. Their wines are also very reasonably priced, so people could easily pick up a few bottles of what they like.”

Before meeting Vojta in his winery, we will do a two-hour hike to a look-out tower and through the vineyards.

MEETING POINT is Hlavní nádraží (Main train station) Brno on Saturday, August 21 at 9:20.

HIKE
We will follow the “green” tourist trail from Zidlochovice to Lookout tower “Výhon”. Then follow the “blue” trail to Nosislav. Total distance 7km, elevation difference 200m.
