ABOUT R. JELINEK SLIVOVITZ DISTILLERY
RUDOLF JELÍNEK a.s. is a joint stock company concerned with the production of alcoholic drinks, especially spirits which has an established tradition in Vizovice since 16th century. The company itself was founded at the end of the 19th in 1894. The products of our company are known in all corners of the Czech Republic. But they are not determined only for the home market. Our exports have enjoyed a tradition since 1934 and in recent years the volume is ever on the increase.

Our flag ship is Slivovitz, of which we produce a varied assortment (kosher, non-kosher, Gold, White etc.) and furthermore our trademark fruit brandies of the highest quality (e.g. pear brandy, apricot brandy, cherry brandy etc.).

DISTILLERY LAND 

The company RUDOLF JELÍNEK a.s., founded in 1894 is an historic firm, which is famed in particular for its production of fruit spirits (above all Slivovitz) typical for central Europe and of alcoholic drinks. The company RUDOLF JELINEK a.s. holds in high respect the tradition of distilling, whose beginnings hail back to the second half of 16th century, and wishes to make this known to the general public. It has therefore decided to play an active role in tourism and has established the tour and visiting center of Distillery Land.

It is not only wine and beer which help to spread the good name of Moravia, but also plum brandy and starorežná. Archaeological finds have confirmed that spirits were produced here from sometime around the 14th century. Thanks to the suitable climate, over 70,000 plum trees grew in the area around Vizovice. Not only plum brandy, but also pear brandy, cherry brandy and other spirits can be found in the Rudolf Jelínek Distillery Land in Vizovice. Familiarise yourself with the main principles of production of this traditional spirit on the standard (one-hour) or expert (two-hour) excursion. You will be introduced to the process with the aid of a video projection and you will see a distillation column as well as learning about distilling, rectification and equalisation processes. At the end, in the tasting room, you will try three types of high quality spirit free of charge (of course only if you are aged 18 or over).
