Michael provided a wonderful day of sightseeing along the Small Carpathian Wine Route for our group of six. Based on our list of possible sites, he planned a personalized tour that included a visit to The Red Stone Castle, tastings and tours at two outstanding wineries, a stop in Modra to purchase pottery, and a delightful lunch. A fabulous day!
Michael extended door to door service, picking us up at our holiday villa in Trencianske Teplice. We found him to be very attentive to our needs and an excellent driver, making for a stress free day. Michael even drove us to a Shopping Mall to purchase a man's shaver on our return journey........definitely above and beyond the required services of a tour guide. If you are looking for an easy way to explore western Slovakia, you definitely should contact Michael Pohancenik!

Description
We’d like to invite you on a tour through the colourful villages and small towns – Svätý Jur, Pezinok, and Modra, for example – that lie in the foothills of the Small Carpathian Mountains, where the most famous producers of top-class Slovak wines have served locals and kings for centuries.
The tour begins with a visit to Hrad Červený Kameň (the Red Stone Castle), the former residence of the noble Palffy family. You’ll take a tour with a local guide, and discover the largest wine cellar in Central Europe. You’ll also see a unique collection of arms and paintings, and a beautiful garden with both white and colourful peacocks roaming around.
You’ll then stop for lunch at a traditional wine cellar restaurant where you’ll be able to try local specialities.
Afterwards, you’ll visit one of the most famous Slovak wine producers – either Elesko or Karpatská Perla, depending on the date – to see their cellars and taste some of their best wines.
