Víno Kapraľ
Family winery · Veľká Tŕňa
Family wine business with a 12-metre cellar in the Gazdovské pivnice, a traditional cottage to rent and bikes to borrow.
The Kapraľ family's vineyard story goes back to 1950, and the family dug its own 12-metre cellar in Veľká Tŕňa's tuff-cellar area. Today the winery processes grapes from 1.5 ha of newly planted vineyards. Tastings take place in the tuff cellar or in the cellar gazebo with local snacks, and the family also rents a traditional adobe cottage, Na chalupe, and runs a bike rental.
