MORAVIAN SMOKED HAM FESTIVAL 2017, March 4-5

Not only wine or beer can be sampled. The Moravské uzené (Moravian Smoked Ham), one of the local treasures, can be sampled too - we are sure. This is a festival of smaller producers, often family owned, who prepare this specialty the traditional way. Visitors can sample for free and appreciate the best one for free. Besides this, a wide range of different sausages, salamis, kinds of bacon and other delicacies are available in a wide range. And folk music, good wines, tasty beers, you can imagine.....  We are sorry, it is nothing for vegetarians.
Note: Because it takes place in winter time, it cannot be a part of any biking or hiking programme. 

ASPARAGUS FESTIVAL 2018, May 18-20

Ivančice was the most important region for "spargel" production - but more than 100 years ago. At tThat time, empress Sissi highly officially appreciated the asparagus from Ivančice as the best in all the Habsburg monarchy. Today this tradition is presented as a three-day food festival. The best chefs present their creations using asparagus to the public, while wine producers combine their best wines with it. We recommend coming on Sunday when there are fewer people than on Saturday.
