Little Carpathian Wine Tour

What to expect

A guided day trip with Tour4U into the Little Carpathians, the hills of vineyards and old wine towns just outside Bratislava. It brings together a visit to Červený Kameň (Red Stone) Castle, wine tasting in the local wine towns and a stop at a traditional pottery workshop.

Best for small groups who enjoy wine, crafts and history and want to see the Slovak countryside without arranging the transport themselves.

Route & highlights

• Červený Kameň Castle: salons, dining rooms, the knights’ hall and the courtyard, with peacocks in the garden
• castle interiors furnished in styles from the Renaissance to the Secession
• wine tasting in Pezinok, Modra and Svätý Jur, towns that became free royal towns thanks to their wine
• a pottery workshop where you watch the region’s hand-painted ceramics being made and can paint your own or buy a piece
• on request, a finish at a restaurant with grilled ribs, chicken wings and other dishes from the grill

Before you go

The trip runs every day except Monday for groups of at least six, with pick-up from your hotel in Bratislava. The length depends on the programme you choose.

Leave some room in your bag: a bottle from a small Little Carpathian winery or a piece of local pottery makes a better souvenir than anything in the city-centre shops. Discuss any specific access needs with the organiser.
