Dog in Dock Winery

The founder of the Dog in Dock winery is Tomáš Zbořil, who has been making wine since 2013. The company entered the market in 2017 and currently manages 2.5 hectares of vineyards in the Slovácké wine sub-region. The investor is the development company Trigema a.s.
The Dog in Dock winery is located at the Bata Canal wharf, one of the most popular tourist areas in South Moravia. The winery area itself boasts a rich history - it is located near the Veselí castle and there is also a former castle orangery built in the 18th century. It is the heart of the newly emerging cultural and educational wine complex. The place where the Chorinsky family grew tropical fruit some 150 years ago is finally coming to life after many decades, this time thanks to the vine.
Production has now been moved to an area in nearby Boršice u Blatnice, but there is already a young vineyard on the site, which you can walk through in the summer with a glass of wine. There are also plans to build a restaurant on the site, as well as accommodation for 80 people.

Achieved awards

Despite its relatively short history, Dog in Dock has succeeded in several renowned competitions. In 2020, our wines won 2 gold medals at the King of Wines competition - Sauvignon Blanc (2019) and cuvée Will (2019). Dog in Dock also repeated a similar result in the National Wine Competition, where Zweigeltrebe rosé (2019) and Pinot Blanc (2019) were awarded. Chardonnay (2019) won a gold medal at the Prague Wine Trophy, while Frankovka (2019) earned the acclaimed title of Wine of the South Moravian Region 2020.

Specialties in the menu

Our goal is to create a natural product. The grapes are harvested by hand and then processed in a very gentle way without the use of pumps. Using a conveyor belt system, the grapes are destemmed and transported to a press where they are pressed at very low pressure. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and the selected wines are then aged in wooden barrels.
We focus on the production of wine from typical varieties suitable for the Slovácko region, especially Burgundy, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris or Riesling. In our assortment you will find mostly white wines, but we are also proud of our rosé, cuvée and red wines, which we bottle after 2 years of aging in barrels. We supply wines mainly to the gastronomy sector - restaurants, hotels, wine bars, but also to private clients.

Additional offer

This May, we opened the first phase of the Dog in Dock complex, which offers accommodation in stylish Suites, a Bistro full of local delicacies, art and many other activities to relax, unwind and have fun for couples, families and groups of friends. Around the Dog in Dock winery, a complex is gradually being built with the aim of creating a port of call to which wine lovers will always be happy to return.
