South Moravia is Czechia's wine country, where rolling vineyards surround hilltop Mikulov and the chateaux of the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO site.

Villages are lined with wine cellars where growers pour their own whites, and flat cycle trails link the vineyards. September's harvest festivals are the highlight.
