What to expect
Swap the city for a slow afternoon in the vineyards. Winemaker Zuzana Barnáková walks you through the Vajnory vineyards on the edge of Bratislava or the historic vineyard landscape of Svätý Jur and talks about the land, life in the vineyards and her low-intervention wines – or leaves you to the view and the quiet.
It is made for small groups of two to six: couples, friends, or a gift for a bride-to-be.
Experience highlights
- a vineyard walk with the winemaker in Vajnory or Svätý Jur
- a picnic on blankets among the vines, with two bottles of her wines of your choice and water
- local food: sourdough bread, seasonal vegetables, local cheese, homemade spreads and olive oil
- views over the vineyards and the countryside
Before you go
Picnics are booked by e-mail: give your preferred place, the number of people, any dietary needs, the date and the wines you would like. Both meeting points can be reached by car, taxi or public transport (Vajnorský potok stop).
If you want more wine, choose it from the winery’s e-shop and it arrives chilled. The picnic season runs from spring.
