Peter Gregor: "In vino veritas. There's truth in wine. Alas, never sober.'
View of the yard tract - Winery houseVinemaking and again winemaking
From the quote at the beginning I would derive my private theorem, such an associated truth to the truth that sounds like. "That if the truth doesn't hurt anyone, then let him just lack sobriety." Well, what?
Thematically, we go around in circles. We had a distillery, a winery - and more. I threatened you that I would have to start a separate column. And we are already within range of her again. This is the third winery in our architecture column, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Do I have any idea? No, I know because I already have another winery under my belt. One more beautiful than the other, and especially full of that delicious wine, which at first seemed bitter to King Charles IV when he feasted with Bušek of Vilhartice. When, after several glasses, they found the soul of the wine strange, which at first seems a little harsh, but blossoms in its own way, in a special beauty. The comparison with our working people will perhaps stand throughout the history of wine, because, without those skilled hands and knowledge inherited from ancestors, you will never be able to find that taste. Of course, you need to understand things and constantly taste and taste. It is necessary to find a delicate line between the routine professionalism of a wise connoisseur of wine and a possible subscriber of an anti-alcohol treatment center. Both are possible, but cannot be compared. So if we take only the beautiful part of it, wineries or wine houses are exactly the place that will allow us to see that mysterious sparkle from the sun. It doesn't really matter if it's hidden in red or white wine. The important thing is that you feel great about it, even the next day.
View of the courtyard TractGlazing of the pavilionGround floor seatingLightingWine houseIt is a bit to think about that practically all wineries have some kind of magic and mysticism and it doesn't even decide if it is a renovated winery in ancient cellars or a completely new building. It's as if the mysterious spirit of the place, or genius loci, moved in together with the wine. Perhaps when the wine settles "somewhere" then, together with the singing and cleansing of thoughts and soul, it leaves an intangible atmosphere in which you can easily pick up with joy where you left off last time. It doesn't matter if a week, a year, or ten years have passed. This is where time has stopped, which is also part of the mystical dimension of winemaking. So do not hesitate, because if you are outside, then time does not stand still and the mentioned connections do not apply there.
Vinařství Nešetril (Wine House)
Basic description
We succeeded in creating a functional winery in the heart of Znojmo, in a Renaissance house on the square. In one place, wine is produced, sold and tasted, events are organized and guests live.
The ambitious program forced the use of every centimeter of all levels of the town house, its courtyard, cellars connected to the Znojmo underground. The heart of the project is the courtyard area, where we designed a contemporary pavilion hidden from outside views, the roof of which is a viewing terrace.

Wine house - Author's report
Program
An investor winemaker came to us with his dream of creating a functional winery in the heart of Znojmo, in a Renaissance house on Masaryk Square. The task was to create a place where wine would be produced, sold and tasted. And at the same time, feasts were held here, events were organized and guests lived here.
The ambitious program forced the use of every centimeter of all levels of the town house, its courtyard, and the cellars connected to the historic Znojmo underground.
Winebar
Five years ago, the renovation started with a small winebar. The space under the pair of cross vaults is naturally divided into two parts. At the entrance there is a seating area for guests, with a distinctive cross-shaped chandelier and a long bench. The second part is dominated by a work table/bar object and a sturdy wine rack.
We do not touch the vaults, we only illuminate them. We used the crossing as a basic motif that permeates the entire interior.
Passage
The passage is the main entrance, the intersection of all operations, a warehouse for winemaking equipment and technology, a place where wine matures in kvevri ceramic vessels built into the floor. The passage leads to the accommodation on the upper floor and is also open during larger events as the main passage for visitors directly to the courtyard. It is a place where the visitor can see the winemakers behind the scenes.
Cross sectionNight terraceEntrance to the terraceUnderground wineryWinehouseCourtyard
The courtyard is the biggest quality of the project. The narrow lot is situated between two high walls. The first is stone, beautifully weathered, belonging to the former Capuchin monastery, the second, on the other hand, is bare and belongs to an oversized, long-term non-functioning cult building from the late 1980s. The walls frame a wonderful view of the Capuchin garden and the representative court building. We further supported the view by lowering the enclosure wall and demolishing the yard sheds. An operational necessity was to design an extension with service rooms in the yard. We decided to stick to the ugly wall of the cultural center and thus put it behind and let the monastery wall stand out as much as possible. The extension stands in the footprint of the former courtyard wing, which was destroyed during the war. After this wing, only the cellars remained, which we used for production premises.
We designed a contemporary pavilion hidden from outside views, the roof of which is a viewing terrace and an extension of the yard space. It is connected to the yard by a widening concrete staircase.
We combine wood, concrete and steel, materials that can age.
Cellars
The cellars are accessed through a secret door in the facade of the extension. We intentionally preserve the authenticity of the underground itself with almost no intervention. The cellars on the first level are crammed with stainless steel tanks, this is where the main production areas of the winery are located. Barrels are located on the second floor of the cellars. This part is directly connected to the historical underground of Znojmo.
