Royal Garden
September always brings wine festivals to Prague (vinobraní) and it also marks the arrival of Burčak, the partially fermented grape must, which is made solely from wine grapes that have been harvested and processed in the Czech Republic. According to Czech law, Burčák cannot be sold earlier than 1st of August or later than 1st of November. As the beverage is still fermenting, it cannot be stored in sealed glass bottles like wine.
The 17th Annual Prague Castle Wine Harvest Festival will take place in the Royal Garden of Prague Castle during the weekend of the 7th of September and it is the ideal occasion to become familiar with Burčak and Czech wines. The best Moravian and Bohemian wine-growers will present their products and the programme will also feature performances of folk ensembles.
