Mutěnice wine country

Why go

Mutěnice, Dubňany, Ratíškovice and Milotice give the area its village framework. Between them, small clusters of private wine cellars show how grape growing and winemaking belong to local life as well as to commercial producers. The appeal is seeing that rural pattern at a slower pace.

What to look for

• Wine-cellar settlements outside the four main villages
• Vineyards around Mutěnice, Dubňany, Ratíškovice and Milotice

Useful to know

• Pick one or two villages before setting out; the wine area is spread across four settlements.
• Check a specific cellar's visitor access directly rather than assuming private cellars are open.
