Bohemia Sekt centre visit

On 23 June, 2010 from 19 h we would like to invite you for a welcome drink, including an excursion to the Bohemia Sekt centre in Starý Plzenec. During the excursion, you will get to walk through the production process, from the cellars to the adjustment line. You will find out how the bottle with its Bohemia Sekt logo came into being, from the still wine of reknowned Moravian vineyards, to the noble sparkling wine we know as "sekt". Discover the interesting places of the original cellars, hidden under ground, where the sekt matures.

Pilsner Urquell brewery visit

On 24, June 2010 conference participants will have the opportunity to visit the Pilsner Urquell brewery. During the guided tour you can get to know the history and about present day Pilsen brewing, and take a look into historic and modern production processes of the brewery. At the end, you step into the historic cellars, and end the tour with a taste of the excellent, unfiltered beer.

Conference dinner

The tour of the brewery is also connected with a conference dinner in the restaurant "Na Spilce" The restaurant was opened in 1992 on the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Pilsen brewery, and can be found in the former fermenting cellar, also known in Czech as a "spilka", which is in the brewery grounds. A friendly gathering awaits you in stylishly pleasant surroundings in the largest Czech beerhall, with traditional Czech cuisine, and excellent beers from the selection produced by Pilsner Urquell.
