Winemaker's diary
10 October: First day of this year's harvest was really beautiful. Check out our gallery for some pictures.
As this year's harvest is underway, we no longer open the door to our cellar regularly at the weekends. Yet we will be glad to welcome you to our cellar, if time permits. And our in-house store is of course is at your disposal :). And if you can't take away anything on the spot, don't despair - you can try Best of Ilias as selected by Vínoklub, and they will deliver it to your doorstep! Or you can create your own box of Ilias' wines and have it deliver throu our e-shop!:-)
We plan:
On Friday 22 October we are very happy to follow up on our last year's successful winetasting in the Vinotéka a bar U Vinice wineshop at Husovo náměstí in Benátky nad Jizerou.
Last Saturday in November, this year falling on 27 November, a traditional Day of Open Cellars will take place. From  11am till 6 pm, ten cellars will be open to the public, as well as the municipal wine shop. Come and enjoy the beauty of Pálava in autumn with us!
On Thursday 2 December we will hold our first winetasting in a recently opened wineshop Réva in Brno, in Vídeňská street.
And just before Christmas you can look forward to a traditional pre-Christmas winetasting in Vinný sklep Lustermannský in Míšeňská street in Prague.
On Saturday 26 March 2011 we will participate in another year of a wine festival in Tábor.

On Thursday, 15 July, we completed our little South Moravia winetasting tour in the Jupitéka wine shop at Velkomoravská street 19 in Hodonín.
Another stop on our summer tour accross South Moravia was on the home ground. On Friday 2 July we opened a new tradition of summer holidays' free wine tastings on the terrace of the Pavlov hotel in Pavlov.
On Thursday, 24 June, you could taste not only how 2008 has matured in bottles but also some of freshly bottled 2009 samples, in the U Andersena wineshop at Slovákova 8 in Brno.
10 June: Today we added Ryzlink rýnský to our 2009 wines in stock. Previously, we bottled Chardonnay and Pinot blanc. All lovely full semi-sweet wines...
On Saturday 5 June you could taste our wines on the occasion of the Day of Wine in the Vinum Coeli hotel in Dolní Kounice. The winetasting was followed by a traditional food and wine feast. We enjoyed the seven-course menu very very much!.
On Thursday 20 May we followed up on the success of the Tábor Wine Festival by a presentation of our wines in the Vinotéka U černého kocoura a zeleného stromu wineshop.
12 May: Finally, we are bottling. So far, we have 1.150 bottles of Pinot noir 2008, but we will soon proceed to first white ones of 2009!
8 May: It looks like we are going to have a lovely sunny day in Pavlov today. Ideal for some hiking or biking trip, and some wine tasting... :))
In a biodynamically very suitable period of the year, in the second half of April, we decided to plant Pálava seedlings. In order for you to be able to enjoy it as much as we did, we made this small gallery...:-)
25 April: Since spring is definitely here, we are changing our website's coat again... And we add some pictures of spring in Pálava so that you can enjoy as much of it as possible too.
8 April Hurray, we have finished this year's cutting and binding for this year! :-) We are slowly approaching another round of bottling... :-)
On 27 March 2010 we took part in a selling exhibition at the second year of wine festival in Tábor. The festival started on 12 March and its programme included may interesting events. You can check itout at their official website.
10 February 2010 Since winter does not seem to be retiring yet, we re-designed our website to a more winter-like attire:-) We believe it befits it well
... and we continue updating our gallery of winter pictures from Pálava
Do you want to know what do winemakers do in winter? When we are not tasting wines (either in our cellar or at some competitor's :-)) or barrelling, adding sulphur or other necessary substances, we can enjoy this year's beautiful winter in Palava..
On 19 January 2010, we tasted 2008 wines with the Vínoklub wine club at the Monarch wine bar in Prague, at Na Perstyne. Both the audience and us enjoy the evening thoroughly, including raclette at the very end.
