Nechory Winemakers´ association
The picturesque village of Prušánky is one among one hundred and fifteen villages of the Slovácká wine subregion, and its 250 hectares of vineyards are among the largest. Wine has lived in the hearts of the people here since time immemorial; the winemaker motif is even in the village’s coat of arms and historical seals.
The local winemakers farm on four vineyard tracks – Nechory, Úlehle, Podkovné, and Čtvrtky. The unique wine-cellar village of Nechory has become the center of all wine-growing events. Local wine lovers and producers, following in the wine-growing experience of their ancestors, created the Nechory Winemakers’ Association which brings together both large-scale professional winemakers and enthusiastic amateurs for whom viticulture is a lifelong hobby. The vision of the association is to maintain the vineyard and wine traditions as well as to promote and improve the culture and consumption of vine products.

The vision of the association is to maintain the vineyard and wine traditions as well as to promote and improve the culture and consumption of vine products. This is one of the reasons why the association began organizing open cellar events in the cellar streets of Nechory.
You can meet the winemakers of Nechory, as well as their renowned and awarded wines, at the June summer event “To the Cellars of Nechory”, in November during the autumn journey “To the Cellars of Nechory for Young Wines”, and for a taste, “With the Nechory Winemakers”. This is when the cellars are open to visitors for 10 weeks, during the summer holidays until the beginning of September, every day in the afternoon.
The winemakers of Nechory invite everyone to experience the unique atmosphere of the wine cellar lanes and to discover the local hospitality; not only at their events, but at any time of the year. In Nechory and Prušánky, the excellent wine and surrounding countryside make every time of year a beautiful one.

With the Nechory Winemakers
From the last week of June to the first week of September, you’ll find at least two open cellars in Nechory every afternoon. You can dine here with the cellar master and, above all, sample his wines and naturally buy some to take home. Winemakers offer their unique wines from Thursday to Wednesday, always from 14:00, at least until 19:00, and they enjoy the peaceful and cheerful tasting session with their visitors.
28. 11.
To the Cellars of Nechory for Young Wines
On the Saturday of the eve of the first Advent Sunday, the winemakers of Nechory invite you to the first tasting of the young wines of the new year (and others as well). In the cellar lanes of Nechory you’ll enjoy the pre-Christmas atmosphere with more than 20 cellars open. In addition to the tasting, there are also a number of competitions to partake in. A ticket also includes a portion of hot soup to warm up. The evening entertainment with wine, singing, and dancing in a heated tent is brought to you by an “old time band”. The wine, perhaps as a Christmas gift, can be purchased from the winemakers on Saturday as well as Sunday mornings after the event.
