Moravian wine trails

Our first destination is the chateau Lednice. The chateau, its grounds, and its sister chateau Valtice are UNESCO World Heritage sites. This mostly man-made landscape, the largest composed landscape in the world covering nearly 200 square km, was created by the Liechtenstein family, on of the most powerful families in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Then we head to Valtice. While it to was built by the Liechtensteins, it has a very different character than Lednice. The present Valtice chateau dates to the early 18th century. Valtice Chateau has its own wine cellars that date from the 1430s. Go to Valtice for the wine, go the Lednice for its extensive gardens. Together we wander the wine cellars, sample various wine in the unique WINE SALON (top 100 Moravian wines are there to be sampled).
