Roudnice Lobkowicz Winery

The cultivation of wine in the Roudnice region commenced in the 14th century, when Holy Roman Emperor King Charles IV, father of the Patria (also known as the father of Czech wine), first brought grape vines from Burgundy to Bohemia. The Roudnice Lobkowicz Winery came into existence two centuries later, in 1603, when Polyxena Pernštejn (1566-1642), then-owner of Roudnice Castle, its winery and nearby vineyards, married Zdeněk Vojtěch, 1st Prince Lobkowicz (1568-1628) and High Chancellor of Bohemia. 

Winery

Throughout the centuries, Roudnice Lobkowicz wines have come to be known for their distinctive flavor and characteristics. They have been awarded countless gold medals at various Czech and international competitions and won the attention of connoisseurs worldwide.
