The region is renowned throughout the Czech Republic for its production of frequently taking the top prizes in the nation's competitions. Several of the nation's important companies are based in the region but mostly the land is owned by local residents who just enjoy producing as a hobby. The area outside the four main towns is dotted with small settlements composed entirely of cellars that local residents use as a weekend getaway to relax and work in their private vineyards. The local residents are more than enthusiastic to share the fruits of their hard labor with just about every passing individual.

Although the industry is flourishing, almost no other section of the economy around Mutěnice is growing. In addition to being fertile land for and there was a lot of mining activity under communism, all of which came to a grinding halt during privatization. This has the left the region with an unemployment rate of almost 20%. Don't let this dissuade you from visiting though, other than some distant decaying factories visible far off on the horizon, as a visitor you'd never know the region is undergoing an economic crisis of sorts.

The region is far off the beaten tourist trail running through Prague so be prepared to training a bit of your Czech, or at least use your phrasebook. You most likely will only encounter Czech tourists during your visit, foreign Muslims are practically unknown.

Travel to Mutěnice Wine Region

Mutěnice, búdy - Wine cellars between in Mutěnice

By bus
There are two routes you can take when traveling by bus and they will most likely determine where it is you will be spending the night.

For those coming from Prague by bus you'll need at least a whole weekend to make this trip, starting around mid day on Friday and returning in the evening on Sunday. Thursday to Sunday would probably be better though.

For those coming from Brno you could make the trip over one day.

• Bus from Brno to Mutěnice

This bus leaves almost every 45 minutes from Zvonařka main bus station in Brno. The bus station is not far from the downtown. If arriving from Prague be sure and buy a ticket to Zvonařka and not the Hotel Grand bus stop. Student Agency and the major Prague - Brno Bus operator does not run to Zvonařka.At Zvonařka, you will want to take the bus to Hodonin|Hodonín which leaves from the last bust stop of the second bus lane counting from the left. You can buy your ticket on the bus for under a 100 Kč. The ride takes about an hour but it is a very nice trip. You want to get off at Mutěnice, which will only be indicated by the white sign at the edge of the village. About a half-hour into the trip ask someone to tell you when the bus has arrived in Mutěnice. If you miss the stop, continue on to Hodonin|Hodonín (another 10 minutes) and catch one of the many buses back to Mutěnice or to Dubňany depending on your preference.

• Bus from Prague to Dubňany

Every Thursday and Friday at 14:30 there is a bus from Prague directly to Dubňany. Tickets can be purchased at the Florenc main bus station for 220 Kč, preferably in advance. This bus will stop in Hodonin|Hodonín, once you have left Hodonín ask someone on the bus to tell you when you have arrived in Dubňany. The trip from Hodonín to Dubňany takes about 10 minutes.

By car
From Brno take the motorway towards Bratislava, about 15 kilometers before the border you will come to the Hodonin|Hodonín turn off. Take this, go to Hodonín and then follow a map the short distance to either Mutěnice or Dubňany.

How to get around in Mutěnice Wine Region

The best way to get around is by bike. The towns are all only about 4 kilometers apart, far enough to make walking a bit of a journey but close enough to make a bike trip short and pleasant. If you stay at the 'Penzion San Marco' in Mutěnice they have bicycles for rent. If you stay with the Chytil family pension in Dubňany they are planning on having bicycles for rent, so if you email them ahead of time they will probably be able to arrange something for you.

If you aren't afraid of a good 5km walk, either Mutěnice or Dubňany will provide you with great tasting opportunities, a historic castle and some spectacularly exquisite nature.Also, if you want to get from town to town but are feeling a bit tired after all of that you have been drinking it should be fairly easy to hitch hike on the small town roads.

What to see in Mutěnice Wine Region

Milotice, Czech Republic (château) - Milotice Chateau

• Traditional Czech festivals

By using the contact email at either U Chytilů or Penzion San Marcos you should be able to find out when the next festival will occur. These are exciting events where many people dress up in the traditional Moravian clothing and dance to music played by a local brass band. Of course lots of and great food is available as well. Frequently they are held in one of the cellar villages allowing local producers to let visitors into their cellars.

• The mannor (Czech - zámek) in Milotice

On the northern side of Milotice there is a very large mannor house (or castle) with extensive gardens that is well worth seeing. Until 30 September it is open daily, after which the opening hours change (although the gardens remain open daily).

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Mutěnice Wine Region

Mutenice cellar 4844 - Wine cellar

• Wine tasting

There are three really beautiful 'settlements' of cellars in the area.

1. One is directly in Mutěnice on the road 'Vinařská.' This one should be incredibly easy to find.
2. The second is halfway between Mutěnice and Dubňany. Coming from Dubňany you will need to walk/run/bicycle down the road towards Mutěnice for about 1 km (0.6 mile), you will go past an old tall building on your right, over abandoned rail road tracks, past the lake and then follow the road as it veers to the left. Continue walking on the road through the thick forest and take the first small road to your right (perhaps 500 m (1640 feet) after passing the lake). There will be a small industrial looking building (it's actually a Chicken farm) with a large 40 km/h (25 mph) traffic sign. Continue straight on this road another 500 m (1640 feet) and you'll come to the cellars and vineyards. This area is very 'uncommercial.' From Mutěnice, walk on the road to Dubňany look for a road to the left with the 40 km (35 miles) sign and the industrial looking Chicken farm. Once you have gotten to the cellars if you continue straight you'll come to all of the vineyards on the hills. Its feasible to go through these hills and eventually find your way back to Mutěnice.
3. The last group of cellars can be found by going to the campsite near Dubňany as listed below. Continue on the road that the campsite is on about a kilometer and then take one of the dirt roads that leads off to the left. Walk down the hill about 300 m (984 feet) and then you have either found the cellars or you'll need to take some road to your right a couple of hundred meters. This group of cellars are some of the most beautiful but also the most difficult to find so you may need to ask someone.Just make a drinking motion and draw a house and a cellar with you hands and if the person hasn't already invited you in to taste some he'll point you in the right direction.

• Bicycle trips through the whole region

If you get a hold of a bike and there is one long marked cycle path that runs through the whole region that should be really easy to find (ask anybody) or just look for the big yellow signs with the picture of a bike on them.

• Squash and/or sauna in Dubňany

Open everyday including weekends and the Dubňany fitness center (named Želva or 'turtle' in Czech) is an excellent place to play squash, do miniature bowling, have a go to the sauna or work out. The cost for squash is 190 Kč for an hour including rental of rackets and a ball. The community center is on the primary street to Hodonin|Hodonín. It is a large modern building near to the road, if you have problems finding it just ask anybody where Želva is (the Z is pronounced like the 'su' syllable of Pleasure).

• Swimming in Dubňany

During the warmer months the swim park is open in Dubňany. It is within 300 m (984 feet) of the Želva fitness center, but ask anybody where it is while making swimming motions and they'll show you.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Mutěnice Wine Region

You may want to buy a bottle or two the white chardonnay from the Livi vineyards (owned by the Chytil family) as it is outstanding and according to a knowledgeable Frenchmen, on par with some of the better French fruit cocktails. Home made Slivovice (plum brandy) should also not be hard to come by and well worth the 100kc for a bottle.

Halal Restaurants in Mutěnice Wine Region

The pub, 'U Chytilů' in Dubňany is both splendidly decorated and serves a whole array of traditional Moravian food. You can find the restaurant at number 825 on the road to Mutěnice in Dubňany.

Penzion San Marco in Mutěnice has a small restaurant at the penzion.

All of the towns have a wealth of pubs and places to eat. You won't have to look far to find some great food.

Nivky-za-Větřákem2011a - A view towards vineyards

Presumably you have come to the region to taste the fruit cocktails.Anywhere you go there will be a lot of great soft drinks but also there are some good local soft drinks, and every different type of homemade you can imagine.

When you are passing through a 'settlement' of cellars nothing will be for sale. The Czech government still has very heavy regulations about the production and taxation of drinks which almost none of the weekend producers could possibly manage to comply with. The best way to try some of them is to think up any reason to stop and speak with somebody working in their vineyard or relaxing in front of their cellar.Ask for directions or something, it doesn't' matter and they will almost certainly invite you to 'ochutnat' (taste) some soft drinks.

Almost all of the domestic producers do actually sell their but first you'll need to make friends with them (presumably by drinking their with them) if you want to buy some of their product.

Check the bus schedule for buses leaving from Hodonín on the Internet on the day you want to head back before setting out on the journey.
