The Happy Star Hotel lies in the Hnanice and Šatov area of the Znojmo Region, which is famous for its extensive vineyards and wine cellars. Some of the cellars are up to 1 km long and supposedly lead to Austria! The Painted Cellar (in Czech: Malovaný sklep) is a local curiosity. It was decorated by a one handed painter using candles as his only light source. Participating in one of the many wine related activities and events that take place throughout the year is a must. These include open days, wine festivals and exhibitions, wine tasting courses, etc.
