Discover the hidden gem of South Moravia in Czechia, a rising star in the European wine tourism scene. Explore the charming medieval town of Znojmo, delve into its underground history, and savor the rich wine culture of this burgeoning destination.
If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to the wine destinations of Tuscany or Provence, look no further than South Moravia. Over the past few years, Czechia has been quietly building up a reputation on the tourism scene and it is finally ready to claim its rightful place alongside France, Italy and Spain as one of the top destinations for wine aficionados in Europe .
While many tourists head to Prague to be immersed in the opulence and decadence of Czech culture, South Moravia is fast becoming one of the best-kept secrets of Eastern Europe. How much longer this gem will stay hidden is less clear, as the region is already beginning to thrive in the arenas of wine tourism and active holidays. Czechia’s wine industry may date back centuries, but it was forced into stagnancy for years under Communism before being brought back to life following the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength and is now one of the biggest tourism draws for South Moravia. Begin your adventure in the charming medieval town of Znojmo - which is known as the historical and cultural centre of southwestern Moravia and, with 34,160 citizens, is the second most-populated town in the South Moravian Region. Above ground, the town is an untouched, immaculate environment devoid of crowds and by day is tranquil, while by night, a buzz ebbs and flows through the streets. Underground, however, can be discovered the deep history of the town. Take the ‘adrenaline’ tour, where you can explore the underground ‘corridor’ made up of 50 waterwells. Here is where citizens would store wine and fruit, while other parts could be mined for iron and stone. Indeed, to give a picture of Moravia’s wine culture, a wine cellar was built in the middle ages
