Šenkvice for the Wine 2026
600 minutes
Description
Šenkvice winemakers will open their wine cellars for the fifteenth time. Come to Šenkvice on April 25, 2026, from 12:00 to 22:00, and experience a day full of wine, relaxation, and good mood – exactly the way they know how to do it in Šenkvice.
For 15 years, the winemakers of Šenkvice have been sharing their love of wine with visitors from all over Slovakia. The event Za vínom do Šenkvíc (For Wine to Šenkvice) is intended for everyone who enjoys honest Slovak wine, personal meetings with winemakers, and the authentic atmosphere of a wine-growing village.
A total of 29 winemakers will present their wines, cellars, production, and presentation spaces – from small family wineries to established producers of the Malokarpatský (Little Carpathian) region. Many of these spaces are normally not accessible to the public during the year.
Each edition of the event also has its patron. The patron of the 15th edition is long-time active winemaker Emil Augustinič.
