Private Wine Tour to the Little Carpathians

What to expect

A private day trip with Taste Bratislava into the wine country that starts at the edge of the city. A local guide drives you through the vineyards of the Little Carpathians to two wineries and brings you back, so nobody has to rent a car or stay sober for the road.

A good fit for couples and small groups who want to taste Slovak wine where it is made.

Route & highlights

• pick-up at your hotel and a drive through the Little Carpathian vineyards
• Šenkvice: a behind-the-scenes tour of a family winery, its cellar with old oak barrels and a tasting of white, rosé and red wines introduced by a sommelier, with a cheese platter
• Pezinok: a historic underground wine cellar at the château, with old winemaking equipment on display and more local wines
• a short vineyard viewpoint stop near Svätý Jur on the way back

Before you go

The tour runs Tuesday to Friday, starting at 10:00, with pick-up at your hotel or the Radisson Blu Carlton Hotel. Six wines are tasted in total.

Expect some walking, including into underground cellars. Groups of more than six get a tailored proposal. Bring a bag if you plan to buy bottles at the winery.
