Vines were probably cultivated on the slopes below Petřín even before the arrival of the Premonstratensians in 1143. In the 14th century, the area was almost continuously covered by vineyards before giving way to gardens and orchards during the 18th and 19th centuries. Nowadays, Strahov Monastery has two smaller vineyards. The triangular stepped Vista and Vineyard, situated to the south-east, adjoins the Abbey Garden directly above the Raoul Wallenberg Path surrounding the Great Strahov Garden. Ever more visitors flock here to see the beautiful panorama of the Castle and Malá Strana. The vineyard was designed by architect Otakar Kuč and laid out on gently sloping terraces. The Hibernal vines are grown both for grapes and for ornamental purposes. The second, slightly larger Hibernal vineyard, located south of the wall of the Convent Garden, is not open to the public. The grapes from there are used by the monastery kitchen.
