Bösing (Pezinok): Discover wine, history and nature

Bösing (Pezinok) has a longstanding tradition of viticulture and winemaking. The Malokarpatské múzeum v Pezinku is primarily dedicated to the ancient culture of viticulture and winemaking in the Little Carpathians. It is housed in an authentic Renaissance building from the 17th century in the historic centre of Pezinok. The museum also presents two permanent interactive exhibitions and the largest collection of historic wine presses in Central Europe.
