Narodny Salon Vin Slovenskej Republiky
This cave in the city center offers several wine tasting experiences, including an option to be able to taste 72 wines from the country in 100 minutes. As I had limited time in the city and country, this is what I opted for. The walls of the cave were lined with a variety of different award winning wines, which I learned are changed every six months based on the most recent awards given so that there is a consistent rotation to keep the wines current. I walked around the three different rooms at my leisure after having a brief introduction to the business and the sources of wines. I made the decision to take a small taste of each so provide the most comprehensive exposure to the wines of the county, which ranged from traditional method sparking to white and red varietals. I found it a good introduction to the variety of wines being awarded throughout the country and the variety of representations of various varietals from different regions and wine makers.
With limited time in the walkable city, I explored the downtown area of Bratislava and went to a Farmer's Market where I purchased locally made cheese, which I noticed was commonly smoked cow cheese with a medium hardness.
I also caught sight of this unusual art deco style Catholic church, which I walked around to have a closer look, but did not go inside as the doors were locked.
