The manor house in Svätý Jur, a town near the present Slovak capital of Bratislava, came into the possession of the influential noble Pálffy family in the late 1500s. Svätý Jur was known to produce the best wines in the greater Bratislava region and played an important role in the growing, production and wine trade. The tour presents the manor's rich history but also the present of the ViaJur winery - a modern and very ambitious winery. Slovak wines are not well known outside of Slovakia but this is by no means due to a lack of quality. Rather, the terroir is so varied that few are produced in sufficient quantities for large-scale commercial export. ViaJur allows you to taste some of the proud and high quality wines that Slovak winemakers of today can produce. You will find these can easily compete with wines from famous winemaking regions many times their price.
