Karlštejn Wine Harvest 2026: Experience history, wine, and a unique atmosphere under Karlštejn Castle.

The last weekend of September will once again belong to wine, history, and medieval atmosphere at Karlštejn. The 28th edition of the Karlštejn Wine Harvest Festival will take place on Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27, 2026, offering a program for history lovers, families with children, and everyone who wants to enjoy one of the largest historical celebrations in Central Bohemia.

New edition

Visitors can look forward to an authentic historical atmosphere, period costumes, musical performances by medieval minstrels and musicians, as well as a diverse offering of local gastronomy. There will also be tastings of local wines and fresh burčák, which are inseparable from the Karlštejn wine harvest.

The event is also prepared for families with children. The program will offer historical parades, theatrical performances, competitions, knightly duels, and other attractions for both small and large visitors.

Thanks to the national holiday on Monday, September 28, the Karlštejn wine harvest is an ideal opportunity for a long weekend. In addition to the festivities themselves, you can also visit Karlštejn Castle, the Wax Museum, the Museum of Nativity Scenes, the Karlštejn Recreational Park, or head to the Koněprusy Caves or the famous America quarry.

If you want to enjoy the festivities at a calmer pace, the organizers recommend visiting on Sunday, September 27. The atmosphere is usually more relaxed, yet the program remains just as rich. The only difference is that Sunday visitors will miss the traditional Saturday torch-lit parade.

The Karlštejn wine harvest attracts thousands of visitors every year and this year promises a combination of history, culture, good food, wine, and a unique atmosphere under one of the most famous Czech castles.

The complete program will be published soon here.
