Just come, taste and you will see!


Welcome to the website of Pivovarský dvůr Zvíkov situated in the picturesque countryside at the confluence of the Otava and Vltava rivers near Zvíkov castle.

What can we offer?


The ancient castle of Zvíkov, as well as its surroundings, has a rich history and is a testimony to the meeting of people as well as various cultures. Pivovarský dvůr Zvíkov was established in harmony with this tradition and it continues the history of beer brewing and the roasting of meat on an open fire, as it used to be done a long time ago in the castle. We would like to offer you something more than “mere” gastronomy. We always try to please you not only with excellent cuisine but also with a special krausen beer of our own production. Our chef will prepare a feast for you and grill meat as you like it. The brewer will show you round the brewery and tell you the secrets connected with the brewing of our beer.

We would like you to feel at home here just like a friendly visit, to have something to eat and drink and to feel the “spirit of the brewery”. Apart from that – it is so nice to fall asleep after drinking beer! For your relaxation we have prepared 15 very nicely furnished rooms, each of them with its own bathroom and television.

What we like doing


We like looking after individual guests as well as family celebrations, groups and companies. At your disposal there are lounges and a conference room with all the necessary technical equipment and connection to Internet. We will provide a special gastronomic experience, quality services, nights with music, outdoor activities and also adrenaline sports – all according to the wishes of our customers.

Renaissance of beer in Zvíkovské Podhradí

Renaissance of beer in Zvíkovské Podhradí

Pivovarský dvůr Zvíkov tries to revive the beer brewing tradition of the ancient brewery in the castle of Zvíkov where the beer was brewed for many centuries. In old days several dozens of people worked in the castle brewery. Nowadays all can be done by one brewer who spreads the fame of Zvíkov beer thanks to modern technologies, top class raw materials and his skills. Zvíkov brewery is very small and this gives it an advantage compared to beer-making giants – it is much easier for it to pay attention to special kinds of beer.
