Pálava is a region that is best enjoyed without rushing. In the morning you set off among the vineyards, during the day you discover Mikulov, Pavlov or the Novomlýnské reservoirs and in the evening you return to a place where you can sit beautifully under a pergola with a glass of Moravian wine. This is exactly what a summer holiday at the Pálava Winery in the village of Strachotín can look like.
The family-oriented guesthouse is located right in the cellar alley on the Mikulov and Moravian wine trails. It offers rooms and apartments, wines from the P/P/S winery's own production, a wine bar, a garden with seating and a pier by the Strachotín pond, and facilities for cyclists. The views of Pálava and the proximity of the Novomlýn reservoirs make it a pleasant place for families, couples, friends, and anyone who wants to get to know South Moravia a little more personally.
Accommodation in Pálava, where the morning begins with a view of the landscape
If you are looking for accommodation in Pálava , you don't have to choose between a busy tourist center and solitude far from attractions. Strachotín offers a quieter wine-growing atmosphere and at the same time a location close to Pálava, Nové Mlýny and other excursion destinations.
The Pálava Wine House has a capacity of 45 beds in rooms and apartments. The offer includes a double room, three- and four-bed rooms, as well as larger apartments with separate bedrooms. Selected apartments have a balcony with a view of Pálava or a kitchenette. All accommodation units have their own bathroom, so couples, families with children and smaller groups of friends will find comfortable accommodation here.
A big benefit is the buffet breakfast included in the accommodation according to the current official website. The day can start with a shared breakfast and continue exactly as you wish – on foot, by bike or on a sightseeing trip.
Cellar alley, wine from our own winery and true South Moravia
The Pálava Winery is not just a place to sleep. It is part of the complex connected to the P/P/S winery, whose wines come from vineyards in Strachotín, Popice and Pouzdřany, among others. The cellar alley here invites you to take a slow walk and enjoy the local wine atmosphere.
Guests can select and purchase wines from their own production. Guided tastings are also available for groups outside the main summer months by prior arrangement. These usually include a tasting of eight wines and a tour of the winery; the minimum number of participants is ten. Guided tastings are not held in July and August , so it is advisable to count mainly on wine sales and individual seating during the summer holidays.
Authenticity is what makes a wine holiday interesting: vineyards behind the village, cellars in sight, and the opportunity to take home wine from a place you got to know during your holiday.
Garden, gazebo and pier: holiday evenings to look forward to
The guesthouse includes a large fenced garden, a pergola and a roofed gazebo with a summer kitchen, a grill and seating. An interesting feature is its own pier at the Strachotínský pond . This is where the most beautiful part of the day can be - when the sun sets behind Pálava after a trip and there is time for a conversation, a glass of wine or a quiet sit by the water.
The Wine House also offers a wine bar and facilities for smaller group events or meetings. During the summer season, light refreshments are available in the wine bar; however, it is not appropriate to present it as an all-day hotel restaurant. Guests can also use the shared kitchens in selected rooms and apartments.
Pálava by bike: wine trails start right in Strachotín
The Mikulov and Moravian wine trails pass through the cellar alley right by the guesthouse. This is an advantage that guests planning a cycling holiday in Pálava will appreciate. You can set off among the vineyards towards Pavlov, Dolní Věstonice or Mikulov or plan a longer route through the landscape of South Moravia.
After returning, you don't have to worry about where to put your bikes: there is a bike shed on the premises with a declared capacity of up to 40 bikes. For cyclists, the Pálava Winery offers a pleasant combination of a good location, practical facilities and the opportunity to end an active day with a social gathering.
Summer vacation in South Moravia for couples, families and groups of friends
Couples will appreciate the views of Pálava, the cellar alley and quiet evenings by the water. Families will enjoy the larger apartments, garden and varied excursion options. Cyclists can set off in a different direction every day, and groups of friends can take advantage of the shared outdoor seating and winery facilities.
Thanks to this, everyone can plan a slightly different vacation here. One day a trip to Pálava, the next day swimming or water fun in the surroundings of Nové Mlýn, the third day historical Mikulov or Lednice. And in the evening return to a pleasant place in Strachotín.
