Wine Sorts

Of all beverages, Slovakia is best known for its excellent 'pilsner' beer and plum brandy, the so-called slivovica. Slovak wines are much less known to the outside world, which doesn't mean that they do not deserve to be known. On the contrary. With its more than 1.000 years of wine producing history, Slovakia is one of the traditional wine producing countries in Europe.

There are 40 listed varieties of grapes in Slovakia, 6 vineyard regions and 603 vineyard villages. There are still wines, sparkling wines and there is the unique Tokay.
