Vinohrady Grape Festival


This weekend the Vinohrady district is celebrating the 650th anniversary of Charles IV coronation as Roman Emperor with their traditional wine festival (5 minutes walk from home). When N got home from school on Friday we went to watch the entertainment, which included traditional dance and jousting, under the watchful eye of Charles the IV and his consort. It was great entertainment, N even picked out her own Prince Charming.
Here he is being knocked off his horse, and minus helmet.

The wine side of the festival offered new "young wine" which on first taste is similar to apple cider, but has an obvious kick to it. It isn't clear but full of sediment, even pips. There was also other wine for sale and of course beer.

My wife and I were just in Prague last month (09/2008) and happened upon this year's grape festival ... this was one of the highlights of our week in Prague ... a must for everyone that is tired of the tourist crowded center
