Private PICNIC in Bohemian Vineyards and Wine Tasting 4WD Tour

An Authentic Taste of the Czech Republic: Private Bohemian Vineyards and Wine Tasting Tour

Imagine stepping out of Prague’s bustling streets and into the peaceful, scenic countryside, where vineyards stretch over gentle hills, and history whispers from every corner. This Private PICNIC in Bohemian Vineyards and Wine Tasting 4WD Tour offers exactly that — a 5-hour journey into the heart of Czech wine country, priced at around $356 per person. Led by a knowledgeable guide, you’ll explore volcanic landscapes, visit a local vineyard, and enjoy a personalized experience that feels more like visiting friends than a tour group.

What we love about this experience is its intimate setting — being the only group or private party means your guide can tailor the day to your interests, diving into local stories and answering your questions without feeling rushed. Plus, the combination of a private wine tasting and a picnic lunch amid stunning vineyard scenery makes for an unforgettable day.

A possible consideration is the weather dependency — if the skies turn stormy or too cold for outdoor dining, your picnic might be moved indoors at the vineyard. Still, even in less-than-perfect weather, the wine and guided visits remain engaging.

This tour suits travelers who appreciate authentic experiences over crowded bus visits, especially those with a keen interest in local wines, history, or scenic drives. It’s ideal for couples, small groups, or anyone eager to see a quieter, more personal side of the Czech Republic beyond Prague’s historic center.
