The city Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is located on the banks of the Danube river, about 60 km eastern from Vienna. Positioned right at the foot of the south slopes of the Little Carpatian mountains the area around Bratislava is an ideal place for grap-growing. Small vine cellars and restaurants, places, where people meet old friends and make new ones, are the logical answers to the ancient traditions of making vine in the city.
