1 day UNESCO private wine experience in Kutna Hora

We had a fantastic day in Kutna Hora with Andrea. She picked us up at our hotel and had snacks and water in the car. ( We took several great day trips out of Prague, but Andrea was the only one who provided this. A nice touch, and appreciated.) We took the scenic route through the countryside, which we enjoyed very much. The biodynamic winery was in a lovely old monastery, and the owner himself came out to complete the tasting and tour. They are passionate about their production methods and the wines were lovely. Andrea then gave us a wonderful tour of the town and the church, St. Barbara’s Cathedral, which was one of the most beautiful churches we visited on this trip. We had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, then visited Sedlec Ossuary. Along the way Andrea took photos, which she sent to us the next day. On the whole, this was like spending a day with a knowledgeable friend. The communication prior to the trip was excellent. Also, most other day trips excluded the cost of admission, meals, etc. This trip is fully inclusive, which makes for a very relaxing day. Andrea also shared restaurant and wine recommendations. We tried several restaurants in Prague that we would never have known about, and they were all outstanding. Whether you are a wine novice or expert, this is an excellent trip. We enjoy wine and history/culture, so it was a perfect combination for us. We hope to return and take their longer trip to the wine region of Moravia.

We booked this tour to escape Prague which was too much full of tourists. We heard of Kutna Hora being a nice historical city and as we like wines, we chose this tour that mixes wine and heritage. And that was it ! We discovered great wines produced by such a kind family. The woman took her time to epxlain how they grow wines organically. We visited the very old cave and saw even amphores ! Then we had a nice typical lunch and visited amazing churches, all different with their own style. I've never seen so many bones in the last one! Andrea, our guide, was Always smiling and so knowledgeable about her country. And of course passionate with wine! We'll come back t ovisit South Moravia where the best Czech wines are supposed to be produced!

Among various reasons, this tour deserves 5 stars for its originality. I've been on a fair few tours in other wine-making regions but this one is the first that had such a diversity of wineries, from the grand castle in Kutna Hora to a family business that felt as authentic as it was small. The Cistercian church and cellars built in the rock deep underground were particularly cool... To be fair, this review would not be complete without mentioning Isabelle. A great guide and lovely company! All in all, highly recommended!!
