Privacy policyCzechia may be famous for its beer, but there’s another side to its drinking culture worth exploring. Most Czech wine comes from Moravia, particularly South Moravia, where vineyards, wine cellars and small wine towns are part of the landscape. Champagne is a different style altogether, but you’ll find it alongside Czech wines in restaurants, wine bars and hotels, especially in Prague and other larger cities.
If you’re looking for Champagne in Czechia, Prague is the obvious place to start. The capital has the country’s widest choice of restaurants, wine bars and hotels, while Brno makes a particularly interesting stop if you want to combine city life with South Moravia’s wine culture.
Outside the cities, South Moravia is where Czech wine really comes into focus. The region accounts for the vast majority of the country’s vineyards and is divided into four wine subregions: Znojemská, Mikulovská, Velkopavlovická and Slovácká.
If you normally reach for Champagne, try a Czech sparkling wine while you’re there too. And if you’re travelling through Moravia, look for local white wines – Riesling, Grüner Veltliner and Müller-Thurgau are among the varieties you’ll encounter in the region.
Moravia is the part of Czechia to remember if you’re interested in wine. It has the country’s main vineyard areas, with the wine culture particularly visible around small towns and villages where wine cellars are part of local life.
There’s also an interesting contrast with Czech beer culture. Beer remains a huge part of the country’s identity, but wine is not simply a tourist curiosity – South Moravia has a long-established wine-growing tradition and its own local wine culture.

Yes, although it is much more famous internationally for beer. Czech wine production is concentrated mainly in Moravia, especially South Moravia, which accounts for the vast majority of the country’s vineyards.
South Moravia is particularly associated with white wine. Riesling, Grüner Veltliner and Müller-Thurgau are among the varieties grown there, alongside many other international and local varieties.
South Moravia is the obvious choice for a wine-focused trip. The four main wine subregions – Znojemská, Mikulovská, Velkopavlovická and Slovácká – offer different landscapes and local wine traditions. Brno is a useful city base if you want to explore the region while still having plenty of restaurants and wine bars nearby.
If you’re in Prague or another city, try a Czech sparkling wine alongside your Champagne. If you make it to South Moravia, switch to local still wines – Riesling or Grüner Veltliner are good varieties to look for.
Definitely worth exploring if you enjoy Champagne. It won’t taste the same, and that’s exactly what makes it interesting. Czech producers make sparkling wines using local and international grapes, so it’s another way to explore the country’s wine culture beyond its famous beer.
