MiKUlov
Wine ReGion
The Mikulov region produces the Czech Republic's most famous
wine. The village of Pavlov, with its beautiful rural architecture
and wine cellars filled with singing Moravians, is the ideal place to
experience Moravia's wine culture. The surrounding Pálava Hills
and water sports make days here as enjoyable as the nights. The
historic town of Mikulov—the center of the region—is a pleasant
lunch stop between Pavlov and Lednice. And the large Lednice-
Valtice complex of castles and 19th-century English-style parks is
a unique feat of environmentally friendly landscaping.
