Places We Love to Share: Restaurants, Wineries and Craft Traditions Across Czechia
At Czechia Tours, we don’t choose restaurants and producers randomly.
The places we include in our itineraries are ones we know personally — often family-run, sometimes historic, always rooted in local tradition. Whether it’s a winery in South Moravia, a bakery in Český Krumlov, or a glass factory in Karlovy Vary, these are not “tourist stops.” They are working places with real stories.
Here are some of the places our guests visit across different tours.
Wine in Znojmo: Enotéka & Vinařství Nešetřil
On our South Moravia wine tours, Znojmo is always a highlight.
Enotéka Znojmo is not a winery itself, but a tasting space dedicated to wines from across the Znojmo region. It offers a curated overview of local producers and grape varieties, making it an ideal introduction before visiting individual vineyards. Guests can compare styles, understand terroir differences, and gain context about Moravian wine as a whole.
For a more personal experience, we visit Vinařství Nešetřil — a family winery where the scale is small and the atmosphere more intimate. Tastings often include direct conversation about the harvest, soil conditions and the character of each vintage. It’s less about presentation and more about authenticity.
These visits are part of our dedicated wine tours and also appear on selected South Moravia extensions.
Kutná Hora: Restaurant Rudhartka
During our UNESCO tours that include Kutná Hora, we often stop at Rudhartka.
After visiting the Sedlec Ossuary and St. Barbara’s Cathedral, it offers a relaxed and comfortable setting for lunch. The kitchen focuses on Czech cuisine prepared with a lighter, more contemporary touch.
It’s not about fine dining theatrics — it’s about honest food, good ingredients, and a setting that feels connected to the town itself.
Prague: Vinohradský Parlament & Traditional Beer Culture
For welcome dinners in Prague, we often choose Vinohradský Parlament in the Vinohrady district.
The restaurant combines traditional Czech dishes with a modern atmosphere and a strong beer selection.
One of its distinctive concepts is the in-house Knedlíkárna. The idea is simple: guests order their main dish — for example slow-braised venison — choose the sauce they prefer, and then select the type of dumplings. Dumplings are served without a fixed limit, and guests can decide which style they would like — classic bread dumplings, steamed dumplings with bacon, or potato pancakes with cracklings. The focus is on pairing the right sauce with the right dumpling and enjoying it at your own pace.
It’s a playful but very Czech approach to a staple of the national cuisine.
On our foodie tours, we also include traditional Prague beer halls, where beer culture is experienced in its natural setting: long wooden tables, tank beer, and simple dishes that pair perfectly with it.
Czech beer culture isn’t curated for visitors — it’s everyday life. That’s exactly why we include it.
Plzeňský Prazdroj: Brewing Tradition
On our 10-day tours through Czechia, we visit the brewery in Plzeň — home of the original Pilsner lager.
Understanding Czech beer means understanding its origins. Walking through the historic cellars and production areas provides context to something many guests already enjoy during the journey.
It’s not only about tasting — it’s about understanding how a brewing method from one city influenced global beer culture.
Moser Glassworks in Karlovy Vary
Also included on our longer tours is a visit to Moser in Karlovy Vary.
Founded in the 19th century, Moser represents Czech craftsmanship at its highest level. Watching glass being shaped by hand offers insight into a tradition that continues despite industrialisation.
Karlovy Vary is known for its spa culture, but its glassmaking heritage is equally important.
Why These Places Matter
Across our 6-day UNESCO tours, 10-day Czechia journeys, food tours and dedicated wine trips, we return to the same principle:
We include places that represent something authentic.
A winery where the owner still greets guests.
A brewery that shaped global beer culture.
A restaurant where locals genuinely dine.
A glass workshop where craftsmanship is still visible by hand.
These are not staged experiences.
They are part of Czechia’s everyday identity — and that’s what makes them worth sharing.
