Leave the bustle of Bratislava city centre and explore one of the Roman Empire's most famous wine-growing regions, discovering historic royal cities and visiting Cerveny Kamen Castle.
Cerveny Kamen Castle & Wine Route
After being picked up from your hotel, you'll leave the Slovakian capital behind, delving deep into the hilly landscapes of the Bratislava and Trnava agricultural zones. The area has been famous for its vineyards for over 2000 years, when it provided forts and towns of the Roman Empire with wine.
Your tour will take you to the area surrounding the Little Carpathians, where you'll explore the historic royal towns of Svaty Jur, Pezinok and Modra, which were founded between the 12th and 14th centuries in the Kingdom of Hungary. While they're all known for their location on one of Slovakia's most famous wine routes, Modra is also well known for its production of ceramics. The blue and white porcelain is famous throughout the country and is particularly popular with souvenir shoppers.
The next stop on your tour will be Cerveny Kamen Castle, also known as "Red Stone Castle". As well as its legendary history, the castle is also home to a unique collection of furniture, antique weapons and immense cellars.
Before returning to Bratislava, you'll make a final stop in a winery, where you'll enjoy a tasting of some of the region's best wines.
The tour will finish in Bratislava city centre.
