I am visiting Moravia in September and would like to attend a wine festival(s). I have read about the one in Uherske Hradiste and wondered if any one heard of this?
slavnosti vína v Uherském Hradišti September 13-14th, 2008. The pages (in czech) are not completely actualised, but give the basic information.
I have a Moravian friend who claims there is some sort of famous dungeon/cellar/basement in Moravia where you sit and drink the wine and it is sooooo good that you can drink it and don't know that you are getting drunk, but then (as you feel completely fine) you try to stand up and suddenly fall down drunk. He says rarely does someone walk out of this place, they are carried. When he spoke of it, everyone else in the room knew of it as well even though not all were Moravian nor did they become friends until living in the States so it must be a famous/fun place to go. Perhaps someone here has an idea of what I'm talking about. Perhaps you would enjoy going there.
thanks eso, it looks like a fun place to visit. It appears from the pics, it even has a hotel for those who need it.
