Why visit

The Little Carpathian Museum tells the story of winemaking in the vineyards north of Bratislava. It is housed in a 17th-century burgher house in the centre of Pezinok, built for a wine-growing family.

Interactive displays make it easy to follow the region’s wine tradition from Roman times to today, and every visit ends with a glass of local wine.

What to see

  • Wine presses: what the museum describes as the largest collection of historical wine presses in Europe, in the Renaissance cellars.
  • Interactive exhibits: virtual reality, a hologram, an aroma bar, a bottle-corking station and a blood-alcohol simulator.
  • Tastings: tasting programmes such as Pezinok wines, wine with chocolate, and tasting in complete darkness.

Plan your visit

Visit on your own or book a guided tour; groups should arrange their visit in advance. Tickets and tastings can be bought online.

Allow at least an hour, longer with a tasting. Pezinok is about half an hour by train from Bratislava, and the vineyards start at the edge of town.
