What people are saying about Bratislava

Great wine, great fun and really great value. A trip not to be missed. What a wonderful experience. We were lucky enough to have our wine tasting hosted by Mr Malik sr himself. Such an interesting host and story of the vineyard. The wines were all beautiful and thoroughly explained and accompanied by a lovely selection of regional nibbles. The only downside is we don’t have enough baggage allowance to take more bottles home with us to the UK.

Great visit to this lovely shop. The man was so good and explained every different honey to us. Tasted so many and tried two Mead drinks and a 52% honey vodka. We both got a huge gift, a jar of honey, a small bottle of Mead and a tasty honey, chocolate cookie. Would have bought more stuff from the shop but we only had hand luggage

This was such a lovely experience! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn about/taste some really high quality wines. We didn't get any bread or snacks but it was still a great experience. We took 2 buses from the airport to get out to Modra but it was absolutely worth it!

My wife and I had a good introduction and tastings of the many types of honey from the shop owner and his apiary(s). Any time!

We were allowed to taste many different types of honey and home-made mead. We felt welcome!
