Veseli nad Moravou and then to Blatnice. Vineyards of Straznicko are mainly
on the southern uphill of the White Carpathians, which influence them in the
geological and climatic way. These conditions give the wines their gustative
richness and extractives. Among white kinds belong predominantly Muller

Riesling, Green Sylvaner. Among blue kinds belong Blaufränkisch, St.
Laurent, , Blue Portuguese and Andre. The specific kind Frastak belongs to

VITICULTURE IN STRAZNICE
The wine-growing right was given to
Straznice by Petr Kravar in 1417. In 1611, it was confirmed and enlarged by
Jan Friedrich from
 Zerotin.
The biggest boom of viticulture was noted at the turn of the 16th and 17th
centuries. Noblemen of Zerotin owned the dominion at that time. The near
hill on the uphills of the White Carpatians brings their name – Zerotin. The
best vineyards used to be just here on this hill.
Nowadays, the wines of a high quality are also produced there. Straznice
viticultural firms as e.g. VITIS spl.s.r.o., VINO BOTU, VINO-VIN Morava,
s.r.o., ZEROTIN a.s. and a large range of local wine-makers contribute to
good reputation of Straznice wines. You can taste their wines /see the front
page of the map/. Each year in August, the celebration „Closing the
Vineyards - Zarazani hory“ takes place in Straznice. It is a historical
tradition of closing the vineyards with accompanying program. In September,
you can visit the „Straznice Vintage Festival“. There you can taste
favourite stum and Straznice wines of a high quality
VITICULTURE IN PETROV-PLZE
Another remarkable viticulture village is certainly
Petrov /3km south from Straznice/ known due to its viticulture district –
Plze. The local wine cellars are already mentioned in the 15th century and
later in the 16th and 17th
 century.
There are more than 80 buidings in the district. The cellar fronts with
their architectural elements of Baroque shapes attract the highest
attention. White lime front walls with blue decoration and one or two-wing
doors made of oak wood augment estetical experience. One of the biggest
cellars is 30m long, 5.5m wide and 3m high. In 1983, Plze was declared the
Monumental Preserve of Folk Architecture. Visitors of Plze can appreciate
the quality of wine in many local wine cellars, e.g. at Mr. Klasek, Svoboda
and other wine-makers. Everybody will welcome you and offer comfortable
seating with a glass of good wine. /phone: :Svoboda 00420 723 738 978/
VITICULTURE IN SUDOMERICE
Sudomerice lies in the southern part
of Straznicko and the local vineyards are on the uphills only a couple of
meters from the state border. Those are the most southern uphills of the
White Carpathians. You can find them 3km behind the village in a locality
called Stare hory. Thanks to good climatic and geological conditions, the
local wine-makers can be proud of wine of a very high quality, which can be
offered to you in their wine cellars in the district of Stary potok. The
district is made of a line with 30 wine cellars near the stream and a
viticultural district Sudomerice. Sitting and tasting is offered in these
cellars,too. /Bucek‘s family-see front page, or other wine-makers/
