If you’re looking for a way to combine active exploration with authentic Moravian charm, this e-bike tour from Brno offers just that. Over approximately 8 hours, you’ll pedal through scenic Palava Natural Park, visit a top-rated winery, enjoy a local farm lunch, and watch the sun set over tranquil lakes. It’s a blend of gentle adventure, wine education, and local flavors.
What makes this trip appealing? We love how accessible the e-bike assistance makes covering 40 kilometers of rolling hills without feeling exhausted, plus the chance to sample Czech white wines that are rarely found outside their country. Another highlight is the lunch at a goat farm, giving you a taste of local farm life amid stunning vineyard views.
A possible consideration is that participants need to be comfortable riding a bike for quite a distance—this isn’t a casual stroll. Also, the day’s focus on wine tasting means it’s best suited for those of legal drinking age and not pregnant or with mobility issues.

The Itinerary in Detail
Starting from Brno, you’re driven about 45 minutes south to Velke Pavlovice, a town that sits at the heart of Moravia’s beloved wine region. Once there, your guide—whose name isn’t specified but who clearly knows the area well—fits you with a high-end e-bike and helmet before setting out on a 40-kilometer route through what could be mistaken for Italian Tuscany—but with a Czech twist.
The ride takes you through endless rolling hills dotted with vineyards, each bend offering views that make you forget you’re only a few hours from a bustling city. We loved the way the e-bike helps tackle the gentle inclines, making it accessible even for casual cyclists or those worried about their fitness level.
What to Expect at Each Stop
First stop: the goat farm for lunch. This eco-friendly farm is perched atop a hill, offering stunning views of surrounding vineyards. The farm serves a delicious, hearty meal—think fresh farm cheese, locally baked bread, and regional specialties—accompanied by the peaceful ambiance of rural Moravia.
Next: the Sonberk winery. This top-rated winery is renowned for its white wines, especially varieties like Palava, Riesling, and Tramin. Your guide introduces you to the vineyard, explaining the distinctive qualities of Czech white wines—a topic many find surprising and enlightening. The tasting includes five different wines, allowing you to savor and compare their nuanced flavors.
Why the Wines Are Special
The focus on white wines from Czechia is a real highlight. These wines are gaining recognition for their quality and unique profiles, often made from grapes like Palava, a local hybrid. According to reviews, visitors appreciate the clear explanation of what makes these wines different from their international counterparts. One enthusiast noted, “I loved learning about why Czech white wines are so special and how they pair with local dishes.”
