WORLD WINE at the Kunratice Wine Festival 2026: wines from around the world and two days of meeting people
Kunratice Wine Festival 2026 is behind us. This year, we too at WORLD WINE enjoyed two days of wine, getting together and a wonderful atmosphere by Kunratice Fortress. We introduced visitors to a selection of wines we import from different parts of the world – from New Zealand and Argentina through Italy to authentic Champagne from France.
On September 18 and 19, 2026, the area around Kunratice Fortress once again transformed into a place dedicated to wine, food and shared experiences. And this year, for the first time, we were right there with our WORLD WINE stand.
For us, it wasn’t just an opportunity to offer a few glasses of wine. We wanted to show visitors what WORLD WINE is all about – discovering interesting wines from different wine regions around the world and bringing them closer to Czech wine lovers.
It all started with setting up the stand
Before the first visitors arrived, we had to get everything ready, set up the stand, prepare the presentation, chill the wines and make sure people would feel welcome.
We wouldn’t want to leave out the photos from the preparations. After all, every event like this involves several hours of work that visitors usually don’t see once the venue opens.
Gradually, the empty space turned into our own little wine world. Bottles on the table, ice-filled coolers, glasses, information about the wines and, of course, the prominent WORLD WINE. sign.
And we were ready to begin.
From New Zealand through Argentina to Champagne
We didn’t want to put together a selection from just one country for the Kunratice Wine Festival. Quite the opposite. We wanted to show visitors, in a single tasting, just how diverse the world of wine can be.
One of the highlights of the presentation was Bishop's Leap Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand.
We also prominently highlighted New Zealand Sauvignon right at the stand. It was clear from a distance that anyone looking to taste the fresh style of New Zealand wines would find it right here.
Alongside it, we introduced a completely different wine world – Butchers Block Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina.
Two bottles, two continents and two completely different styles. The chance to compare differences like these is one of the most fascinating things about tasting wines from around the world.
Italy, of course, couldn’t be left out
The presentation also included Italian de Bernard Conegliano Prosecco Superiore DOCG.
A well-chilled sparkling wine has a natural place at a wine festival, and throughout the day it was a welcome alternative to still wines.
And our journey through Europe didn’t end there.
Champagne Météyer – a little piece of France in Kunratice
One of the specialties we presented at the Kunratice Wine Festival was authentic French Champagne Météyer Prestige Brut.
The family-owned Champagne Météyer house has been making Champagne in the Vallée de la Marne since 1860, and today the fifth generation of the family continues the tradition.
The Prestige we presented in Kunratice is a cuvée of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. The winery ages it longer in its cellars and describes it as a Champagne for connoisseurs. The 2020 vintage won, among other awards, a Decanter 2025 bronze medal and recognition in the Guide Hachette des Vins 2026.
There’s another interesting fact about Champagne Météyer that we also shared with visitors in special materials prepared for the festival: Champagne from this family-owned house is delivered directly to the Élysée Palace, the official residence of the French president. WORLD WINE also mentions this in its winery profile.
That’s exactly why we wanted to give Champagne Météyer its own space at the festival. Visitors could taste, alongside the regular wine selection, a Champagne with more than 160 years of family history.
We also prepared a special presentation of Météyer Prestige Brut for the event, with information about the winery and the option to order the wine through our online store.
Wine is first and foremost about people
Once the venue filled up, the most enjoyable part of the event began.
People tasted wines, chatted about them, compared different styles and asked about the wines’ origins, the wineries and the individual grape varieties.
And personal contact matters to us. An online store can offer a wide selection and plenty of information, but it can’t replace tasting wine in person and talking over a glass.
At the Kunratice Wine Festival, we had the chance to meet both our customers and many people who had never come across WORLD WINE before.
Friday gave way to Saturday – and the stand came to life again
Friday’s program continued into the evening, and as night fell, the stand took on a completely different atmosphere.
On Saturday, we got started in the morning. The bottles were chilled again, the selection was replenished, and the tastings continued.
A large number of visitors came by our stand over the two days, and it was interesting to see how different their preferences were. Some came specifically for Sauvignon Blanc, others were looking for a red wine, some wanted Prosecco, and others fancied a glass of authentic Champagne.
That’s why we brought wines from several countries. We wanted to showcase not just one style, but a small cross-section of the WORLD WINE collection.
Visitors could also take information about the individual wines with them and order through our online store. The materials we prepared for the festival featured, among others, Bishop's Leap Sauvignon Blanc and Butchers Block Malbec, and included the discount code WW10 for 10% off all products when ordering through the online store.
Sunday morning: one last look at the empty stand
And then Sunday morning came.
After two days with the stand full of bottles, glasses, visitors and conversations about wine, it was time to pack everything away.
Thank you, Kunratice!
We’d like to thank the organizers of the Kunratice Wine Festival, MORIS design s.r.o. (a manufacturing company with expertise in marketing, design and sales strategy solutions), for the opportunity to be part of this year’s event, and above all, we’d like to thank everyone who stopped by our stand.
Whether you tasted Bishop's Leap Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, Butchers Block Malbec from Argentina, de Bernard Conegliano Prosecco Superiore DOCG from Italy, or Champagne Météyer Prestige Brut from France, we hope you enjoyed taking a little journey through the world of wine with us.
Because that’s exactly what WORLD WINE is all about for us.
Discovering the world of wine. Bringing interesting wines closer to you. And, above all, enjoying them together.
Thank you for two wonderful days. We look forward to seeing you again sometime over a glass of good wine.
Cheers!
