The Wine Salon - National Wine Competition of the Czech Republic is the final competition of the National Wine Competition system. Each year the best wine is selected with the title "Champion", as well as "Category Winners" and "Best Collection". The 100 best wines of the competition are awarded the gold medal of the Wine Salon of the Czech Republic. The competition itself is followed by a year-round public wine tasting Salon - an exposition of the best hundred wines, located in the cellars of the State Chateau in Valtice. At the fair, the Wine Salon manager selects several wine samples from the current Wine Salon collection and they are available to taste by the glass or buy a bottle of this wine.
