Medzipivničná is the cellar street of Malá Tŕňa, with about 13 historic cellars along it according to zavinom.sk. The regional tourism organisation dates the registered cellars of Malá Tŕňa, Veľká Tŕňa and Viničky to 1567 and says they first served as shelters from Ottoman raids; inside, the temperature stays at about 10 °C. The lane is home to Tokaj & CO, whose cellar has about 2.5 km of corridors and is a national cultural monument, and to Tokaj Macik Winery, and in May it hosts the May Festival of Farmers' Wines. Book winery tastings in advance; the small family cellars open by arrangement or during festivals.
