A grand baroque château that was the main seat of the princes of Liechtenstein, at the other end of the Lednice–Valtice landscape. Its cellars house the National Wine Salon of the Czech Republic, where you can taste the 100 best Czech wines of the year, chosen in an annual competition, in a self-guided tasting.


The town of Valtice, and the wine cellars of the villages around it, are lovely to explore. An avenue and cycle path link Valtice with Lednice, past follies such as the Colonnade on the hill.
