Modra: Private Wine Tasting at a Family-Operated Winery

1. Modra: Private Wine Tasting at a Family-Operated Winery

We are a family operated winery in Modra, let us show you the wonderful wines from our vineyards and wine cellar! Modra is an old royal city worth visiting for its charming romantic setting in the Small Carpathians, and has been known for centuries for its wine production and quality ceramics. What's more, the great codifier of Slovak language Ľudovít Štúr lived and died here. Modra offers you excellent wines, great food and peaceful surroundings. Thanks to the deep enological knowledge, love of vineyards, an emphasis on clean technology and a combination of traditional and modern approaches to wine-making, our wines have a small but distinct Carpathian dimension, full of minerality and pleasant aromas. Our excellent wines offer you a touch of flowers, medlar, mulberries and even figs and kiwi, which also flourish in our gardens. We hope that, after visiting us, our wines will always remind you of long and idyllic walks through the rolling hills of Modra. We own 5 hectares of planted vineyards. We produce wines from typical white varieties like Green Silvaner, Green Veltliner, Red Traminer, Oliver Irsai, Devin, Pinot gris, and Welchsriesling but also from Sauvignon and Chardonnay. We are famous for excellent red wines too, including Hron, Cabernet Sauvignon, Neronet, Dornfelder, and Saint Laurent. Our winemaker is respected authority in his field, not only in Slovakia but worldwide, often travelling abroad as the international judge in the prestigious wine competitions.

This was a wonderful day at the Malik winery, a family owned winery in Modra. We were welcomed by one of the Malik brothers who offered a really casual and relaxed style to how they make their wines. They were generous with the wine tastings and gave us an insight into their family busiess. We also got to meet the head of the family who was so welcoming with us, and offered us a wholesome selection of meats and cheeses and just let us sip away exploring all their delicious wines, with small stories behind each one! What a perfect day, highly recommend. Also Modra has some lovely cafes near the winery that are worth exploring beforehand! Note - the tour doesn't include a visit to the actual vineyards.

Great wine, great fun and really great value. A trip not to be missed. What a wonderful experience. We were lucky enough to have our wine tasting hosted by Mr Malik sr himself. Such an interesting host and story of the vineyard. The wines were all beautiful and thoroughly explained and accompanied by a lovely selection of regional nibbles. The only downside is we don’t have enough baggage allowance to take more bottles home with us to the UK.

This was such a lovely experience! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn about/taste some really high quality wines. We didn't get any bread or snacks but it was still a great experience. We took 2 buses from the airport to get out to Modra but it was absolutely worth it!
