Winegrapes in Mikulov..

What a beautiful trip it was. Leaving the office on Friday afternoon, taking all necessary things and packed them nicely into a car. Three cars did their way to Mikulov, small town in Moravia at the borders with Austria. Arriving late at 8 o'clock and taking all our stuff to a very nice pension owned by a boyfriend of our colleague Pája. Who could know that this couple (Pája and Lukin) are one of the few good people I know. (I still believe there are many good people.. but Pája and Lukin really god close to my heart) Drinking a little bit of hot tea and already get downstairs where a big table with 13 chairs with 13 people drinking wine, playing activity. Great evening, jumping to bed at 3am and waking up at 11 to catch trip to nearby town Lednice. Having a stop by wineyard where Lorietta (copy of Schonnbrunn Lorietta) stayes like a monument above the winegrapes. In Lednice having a nice walk through the park towards Minaret, the northest Minaret in Middle Europe. Nice building with something about 300 stairs up from where you can see the nice park, Lednice's castle and many bridges above lakes with ducks.
Going back, trying to find 'Medovy dvur' restaurant, but did not find it, at the end we were supposed to look for 'Vceli dvur' restarant. So we ended in a pub in Mikulov and had our dinner before we would go to wine cellar. Ate a lot and went back to pension to have a little rest. After one hour we went to the wine cellar where a degustation of 10 beautiful pieces of wine was waiting for us. Moreover we asked to taste two more delikate wines (slamove and ledove). Such a beautiful evening was finished when almost all of us were diying by tiredness, we decides is the best time to go back to pension and have a good sleep till next morning when we went to Mikulov's sacred hill with a church at the top. Wonderful trip to the top in the autumn nature. Wish you would be there with us.
