TWO-DAY EXPERIENCE STAY
Wine Cellar / Ostrožovič
WINE ROUTE
There is truth in wine... This is how one may summarize this unique trip, during
which you will not only get to know our smallest wine-growing region of Tokaj,
taste the wines from the best winemakers in unique areas of tuff cellars, but
also get to know Košice, the metropolis of eastern Slovakia. We will take you
to the most beautiful places and lookout towers from which you will have
a unique view of our region and individual destinations.
VISITING
City of Košice, Tokaj Wine-Growing Region,
East Slovak Wine-Growing Region
VINEYARDS OF TOKAJ
Tokaj is primarily the birthplace of the royal liquor,
but it hides a lot of the unknown. This unique place
is complemented not just by historical tufa cellars,
barrels full of wine, picturesque villages with an abundant
history, where the secrets of the past reveal
cultural and historical monuments, but it is also
unique by the hard and conscientious work of wine
growers, wine producers, and locals. Fairytale-like
walks through the vineyards and surrounding
countryside, traditional homemade food and pleasant
rural accommodation will enchant anyone who visits
this unique part of Slovakia.
ORECHOVÁ CELLAR
Orechová Cellar processes grapes from its own
vineyards grown on an area of 54 hectares.
The wine-growing lines belong to the East
Slovakian wine-growing region and are
planted on the south-western slopes of the Vihorlat
mountains. The Vihorlat mountain range was
formed at the end of the Tertiary as a result
of extensive volcanic activity. The rare volcanic
andesites are the geological basis of vineyards
in the wine-growing village of Orechová. Orechová
wine has a unique taste and is unique, thanks to its
geographical location and local climatic conditions.
KOŠICE
A unique Central European metropolis and the second
largest city in Slovakia. Košice is also the scene
of the oldest marathon in Europe and the second
oldest in the world. You will find the longest
pedestrian zone in Slovakia or the easternmost Gothic
cathedral in Europe, which is also the largest church
in Slovakia - St. Elizabeth Cathedral. A popular stop
is also in the Eastern Slovak Museum, where you will
discover the Košice Gold Treasure. A perfect view
of the whole city will be offered from the Lookout
Tower near the largest ZOO in Slovakia. Romantic
streets and unique summer atmosphere of restaurants
in the historic centre will convince you that
Košice is really one of the European capitals.
