This 3-hour private experience is designed for those who want to decode the soul of this medieval town through the lens of Egon Schiele, the provocative genius of 20th-century Expressionism. Led by a specialist with a background in Art History, this tour seamlessly blends the raw energy of Schiele’s “Dead Town” with the sophisticated, modern flavours of Czech viticulture.

The Radical World of Egon Schiele
Our journey begins at the Egon Schiele Art Centrum, housed in a sprawling 16th-century former brewery. Here, we don't just look at paintings; we dive into the scandal. You’ll hear the gripping stories of Schiele’s time in Krumlov—his mother’s birthplace—and how his “immoral” lifestyle and obsession with raw, distorted figures eventually led to his dramatic expulsion from the town. We will explore how the jagged roofs and dark, winding Vltava River influenced his signature style.

Private Access & Modern Rebels
Krumlov’s art scene didn't end with Schiele. We’ll gain exclusive entry into private working studios of contemporary local artists. This is a rare opportunity to see the creative process first-hand, discuss modern Czech art, and witness how Schiele’s rebellious spirit still haunts the town’s hidden corners today. As we walk, we’ll navigate the narrowest lanes to discover secret installations and boutique galleries that most travellers overlook.

A Sensory Finale: Bohemian & Moravian Vintages
After immersing ourselves in visual masterpieces, we transition to the art of the palate. We will retreat to a quiet, private setting for a curated wine degustation. You will taste a flight of premium Czech wines, from crisp Bohemian Rieslings to the unique, indigenous Pálava of Moravia. Each glass is paired with a gourmet platter of local cheeses and snacks, allowing for a relaxed reflection on the day’s discoveries.
