This was the last winery we visited on last year's European road trip. We dropped in at 13:59 on the 8th of August, one minute before opening. When we parked and my wife realized that we were making yet another wine related stop she sighed deeply but it turned out that everyone loved it in some way (if it wasn't for the wine, it was for the beautiful surroundings, calm atmosphere and truly great hospitality). The staff person was thrilled to hear that I had visited them 15 years earlier. My oldest daughter and I were given a quick and efficient tasting and we could purchase the wines we were interested in, including some of the last bottles of the 2016 HADES Muskattrollinger. I regret that I didn't ask for any Urban which I now see in their on-line Weinshop but maybe it wasn't bottled and ready for sale in August last year. I hope to return again and that it doesn't take another 15 years. Hopefully I will be able to get hold of some Urban next time :-)

Small castle and beautiful family-run winery. Very friendly owners and great atmosphere for celebrations. We went on a little bike ride and ended up there.

A castle with a wine shop that is well worth seeing. That's probably why I was allowed to walk freely on the beautifully maintained grounds and admire the small castle from three sides. I was also allowed into the castle courtyard, where the wine shop entrance was. Anyone interested in fine wines should also pay a visit to the castle.

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
