We drive from Bratislava along Small Carpathian Mountain Range through various former royal towns until we reach Modra, a town famous for viniculture and hand-thrown ceramics. Visiting workshop Slovak Folk Majolik, the major producer of the world-known Majolica ceramics, you can find some great souvenirs here.
Red Stone Castle is our next stop. We look round this magnificent, well-preserved Renaissance/Baroque castle owned by famous families like the Fuggers or the Pallfys. We visit the fully-furnished interior part, the Gentlmen and Ladies` Parlour, the picture gallery, furniture exposition, the library, the chapel, exposition of historic weapons, wine cellars and lot more.
Wine tasting includes a visit of a traditional wine cellar where wine and cheese plates are served, giving you a chance to taste 6 samples of local quality wines. We believe you discover your favorite Slovak wine. And of course, get the comprehensive history lesson about Slovakia.

Fantastic tour with beautiful views, excellent wines, and very friendly and knowledgeable guides. Everything was smooth and well organized, and the winetasting felt authentic and welcoming. We especially enjoyed learning about the local wine traditions and exploring the area around Modra. A perfect day trip and definitely worth booking!
Dear Helena, thank you very much for your kind words, we're very happy that you and your entire group enjoyed our lovely little hills - the Small Carpathian hills and the wine tasting. Happy & Safe Travels, Peter and Janka
From Peter to Slavo , the whole experience was amazing. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. If offered to do lunch in the wine cellar, it is a must !!
Dear Kristie, thanks so much, we love to hear that you all enjoyed the tour. Happy & Safe Travel, Peter Blazicek
Peter was an amazing host. He knew a lot about the history of Bratislava, Slovakia and Eastern Europe. He also spoke fluent English which was an added bonus. We would all highly recommend Peter as a tour guide, regardless of what kind of tour you’re looking for. 10/10

I am happy you liked all three highlights of the Small Carpathian Wine tour - the Slovak Folk Pottery, the massive Red Stone castle with its stunning interiors and the "Icing on the cake" the Wine Tasting of Slovak tasty wines. Guys, take care, keep on traveling and discovering the world and one day, i am happy to show you more of Slovakia and/or Central Europe. Stay safe and healthy, Peter Blazicek

Dear Perla, thanks for your kind words. I am happy you enjoyed the tour and hope to see you one day again. Take care, Peter
Punctual, patient and above all very pleasant to be around. Peter is amazing and speaks perfect English. Definitely could keep up with us lot which is sometimes challenging for other tour guides, as we do chatter a lot. Great restaurant choices, pleasant drives, and great choices of day trips. We enjoyed every minute.
Dear Stephanie and family, thank you very much for your kind words. I was very happy I could show you a bit of Slovakia (Devin castle & Small Carpathian region - of course with wine tasting) as well as a bit of Austria (famous Wachau valley and of course - the typical white wines). Your group was amazing and I enjoyed both days very much. Thank you for booking with us and we'll be happy to assist you anytime in the future. We can discover more of Slovakia and/or neighboring countries or even more - such as Italy, Germany etc. Happy & Safe Travel! Peter Blazicek, CEO
