Czech Wines Regions
Czech vineyards are rooted in the cool heart of Central Europe, where altitude, latitude, and continental airflow shape a climate ideal for precision, crispiness and minerality.
Approximately 96% of vineyards lie in Moravia, while the remaining 4% are in Bohemia, a region up to 4 °C cooler on average. This climatic range allows for outstanding expressions of Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varietals.
What sets Czech viticulture apart is its extraordinary microregional diversity. Even within a single vineyard slope, variations in soil, subsoil, and exposure create dramatically different conditions. It’s common to see almond trees, lavender fields, and wild herbs thriving naturally between vineyard rows - living proof of a unique ecological synergy that amplifies the character and minerality of the wines.

The Moravia wine-growing region covers approximately 17,025 hectares, representing around 96% of all registered vineyards in the Czech Republic. The region is home to more than 13,000 growers, cultivating over 1,100 officially registered vineyard tracks across 300+ wine-producing villages.
Situated along the 49th parallel, Moravia shares its latitude with iconic cool-climate regions such as Champagne and Germany’s Mosel and Rheingau - all known for their finesse, freshness, and age-worthy whites.
The average annual temperature in Moravia reaches 10.35 °C (50.6 °F), with annual rainfall around 568 mm and nearly 2,000 hours of sunshine per year - conditions that promote slow, even ripening, naturally preserved acidity, and complex aromatic development.
