Visitors to Melnik may wonder what all the hype is about. The surrounding region is largely industrial, and the town's historical centre is small. However, an afternoon at the Melnik Chateau - with its Renaissance interiors and wine cellar - is worth the effort of travel alone. The town lies at the intersection of the Labe and Vltava rivers, in one of the country's most important agricultural regions. Although most vineyards are located in Moravia, Melnik is the wine-producing capital of Bohemia. Production has taken place there for centuries, and each autumn, the town hosts a special festival to honour the tradition.
