Hills, wine and village character

The southern slopes of Újezdec are used to grow grapevines, and the designated vineyards belong to the Bzenec wine-growing region. The village’s connection with wine goes back a long way: it was already known for its vineyards and wine in the 16th century. During your stay, you can take in both the present-day use of the slopes and the long wine-making tradition.

The terrain also shapes the village. The village square is laid out around a large gorge through which a stream from Ořechov flows. The natural Újezdecká zmola lies below the forest on the Stráňách. The municipality highlights its challenging terrain as an opportunity for boys to explore and go on adventure tours.
