Modra: Private Wine Tasting at a Family-Operated Winery

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.

As digital nomads my wife and I travel a lot and do a lot of activities, but this is by far one of the best we have ever done. We got to try so many different delicious wines and tour the facility where they are made. The family as a whole made us feel so welcome we ended up staying two extra hours to enjoy more wine on their patio. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys wine and wants to learn about this region. The facility is easily accessible by bus from the center or roughly $30 each way to take a Bolt Taxi. Thank you so much for an amazing experience, we will definitely be back!

The wine and food was really good and we learned a lot, both about the wine and about Slovakia as a country. The atmosphere was really relaxed and we felt very welcomed. If you are in the region don’t hesitate to go! The location is also easy to reach by public transport from Bratislava. (~45 min)

The tasting was great, highly recomended. The wine was excellent and the description from the owner was very interesting and passionate. we talked about, grape varieties, wine history and about Slovakia.

It was a very nice trip! Ingrid was a very knowledgeable tourguide, we were very impressed. It was also fun to have her with us. The visit to the palace was my favorite.
