Skoronice – Wine Tradition and Cultural Heritage

Skoronice combines wine tradition, sacred art, rural architecture and local customs into a distinctive townscape. If you are looking for a place with cultural discoveries and regional character for your trip to the Czech Republic, you will find several different themes here: the municipal museum tells the story of the town, the Church of St. Florian preserves a Late Gothic wood-carved figure, and the wine cellars of Skoronské búdy lead into the municipality’s wine landscape.

Culture and Historical Details in Skoronice

The Skoronice Municipal Museum is located in the oldest house in the municipality, dating from 1903. Its contents include an exhibition about the local Jízda králů. The museum also presents a depiction of folk housing in the Slovácko region from the first half of the 20th century. This places both a local custom and the region’s residential culture at the center of the exhibition.

Another cultural point of reference is the Church of St. Florian. The single-nave building was constructed in 1885. The church houses a Late Gothic wood-carved figure of the Skoronské Virgin Mary with the Infant Jesus from the 15th century. This historic ensemble is complemented by the Baroque obelisk of St. Francis from 1760. The school built in 1905 is also one of the town’s notable buildings and is considered an example of rural Art Nouveau architecture.

Winegrowing, Cellars and Regional Traditions

Winegrowing in Skoronice has been a tradition since the mid-18th century. The vineyard primarily cultivated the Lambart, Muškatel and Ryzlink grape varieties. The Skoronské búdy, a collection of wine cellars with a wine trail, offer their own way of exploring this subject. Here, winegrowing becomes tangible not only through individual grape varieties, but also through the landscape and cellar culture associated with it.

A special opportunity to taste local winemakers’ wines directly at the place where they are produced is the long-established event Otevřené sklepy ve Skoronicích. In 2026, “Naše ryby na váš stůl” is connected with activities organized by Skoronice’s anglers. Together, these two references complement the wine and cultural heritage with different forms of local ties.

Water, Recreation and Pilgrimage

Skoronský rybník is maintained to preserve the original biodiversity of its waters and surroundings. At the same time, it is intended to serve the wider public as a place for recreation and relaxation. Alongside the museum, church and winegrowing, this adds an aspect connected with nature. Skoronská pouť is also a well-known pilgrimage tradition held in September, adding another seasonal feature to local life.

Skoronice is therefore particularly suitable as a destination for anyone wishing to combine historical details, wine tradition and regional customs. Depending on whether you focus on the museum and architectural heritage, cellars and wine, or the landscape and traditions, the town offers different ways of exploring its history.
