This paper deals with the importance and meaning of vineyard houses and cellars in Sebechleby habitants’ life. Its starting point is a forty years old study of Czech ethnologist Josef Kandert and comparing it with the present situation. The study summarizes shortly the history of viticulture, working and social aspect of vineyard houses and cellars and contemporary agro-tourism in Sebechleby. The main goal of the study is to investigate the role of vineyard houses and cellars in the identification processes of local community. By comparing the two habitations (Mladá Hora, Stará Hora) in Sebechleby, the author assumes that the ownership of vineyard houses or cellars affects the status of the inhabitants in local community.
