Prague Gastronomy Activities

Young wines, goose specialties, and live music on the banks of the Vltava.

November in Prague has a charm of its own – and one tradition well worth experiencing. On Saturday, November 14, Náplavka will come alive with St. Martin’s celebrations, bringing together young wine, roast goose, music, and good company.

New edition

Bedeker Prague 4 2026

Czech and Moravian winemakers will present the first wines of this year’s vintage. Visitors can taste, meet the winemakers, compare wines and find their favourite. They can also vote for the festival’s most popular winemaker, announced at the end of the day.

Young wine traditionally goes hand in hand with St. Martin’s roast goose, served with cabbage and dumplings, along with other goose specialities and Czech dishes. Cheese, cured meats, pastries and other delicacies will also be on offer. Live music – from traditional Moravian cimbalom to jazz and swing – will complete the riverside atmosphere.

The St. Martin’s tradition dates back to the end of the agricultural year, when people tasted the new wine and gathered around a shared table. Today you can experience it at Náplavka with a glass of wine in hand, the aroma of roast goose in the air and views across the Vltava towards Prague Castle and Hradčany. And plenty of time to discover a wine you will want to return to.

The 15th edition brings a Czech tradition to one of Prague’s most beautiful riverside settings. Come, taste, listen to live music and enjoy an autumn day by the Vltava in good company.

Looking for a different side of the Czech Republic beyond Prague? In winter, Kutná Hora slows down and reveals a quieter kind of charm. From November to December, its historic centre brings together medieval architecture, Advent traditions, music, design and the scent of mulled wine. With fewer visitors than in summer, it is an ideal time to explore the city’s heritage at a more relaxed pace.

PRAGUE THAT FITS IN A SUITCASE

Czech glass, designer jewellery, original artwork or a fragrance created in Prague. A souvenir needn't recall famous landmarks; it can tell the story of today's city and the people who create here. Prague's best-known motifs appear almost everywhere. Still, the city's most interesting mementoes are often found a few streets away, in design shops, small galleries and local artists' studios. Here you can discover a Prague that draws on a strong craft tradition while interpreting it in a contemporary and sometimes surprisingly playful way.
