Zámek Mělník – Jiří Lobkowicz's cellars
Who they are
Mělník castle, above the confluence of the Vltava and the Elbe, belongs to the Lobkowicz family and is run by Jiří Lobkowicz, with a cellar whose history begins in the fourteenth century; pinot noir has been grown here since the time of Charles IV. Today it makes wines from its Mělník vineyards, such as that of Santa Ludmila, organically grown.
What they offer
The castle tour, self-guided or guided; the tour of the vaulted cellars, for 70 CZK; and tastings led by a sommelier in the St Wenceslas cellar, the oldest, among century-old barrels: the light Ludmila wine, varietals from its vineyards (Lobkowicz muscat, pinot gris, Saint Laurent, portugieser), a sparkling wine and the typical Mělník pinot noir. They sell their wines in the castle shop.
How to book
Tastings are booked by phone or email; the castle shop sells the tickets. They are open Wednesday to Sunday; Monday and Tuesday, closed.
