Vajnory is a small town in the Slovak Republic, located just 5 km from the capital
city Bratislava and approximately 60 km from Vienna. Its location is unique: it is
situated at the foothills of the Small Carpathians, opening up towards the Danubian
Plain. Thanks to the presence of the Danube River and the fertile plain surrounding
Vajnory, its territory has always been a rich and abundant area. Since ancient
times, it has been a crossroads of two important trade routes: the Amber Road
connecting the Adriatic Sea and the Baltic Sea, and the Danubian Route, linking
Western Europe with Asia. The name of the town comes from its wine production, a
typical activity in Vajnory since ancient times. Even today, viticulture remains a
crucial part of the local economy, with 1300 hectares of cultivated land and 3000
hectoliters of wine produced each year. The twinning with Alviano was established
in 1990.
