Wine defines Mikulov's identity. The town sits at the centre of the Mikulov wine sub-region, and vineyards climb the limestone hills that surround it on three sides. The Baroque chateau above the town, rebuilt after wartime damage, houses a wine museum covering the history of Moravian viticulture. Annual wine festivals in September draw visitors from across the country.
Mikulov has about 6,500 residents and lies in the South Moravian Region, directly at the Austrian border. The Pálava hills, a UNESCO-listed biosphere reserve, rise south of town and support rare steppe flora on their limestone slopes. The Holy Hill (Svatý kopeček), topped by a Baroque chapel, provides a viewpoint over the town and the surrounding lowlands.

The former Jewish quarter below the chateau preserves a synagogue and a mikveh, remnants of a community that was one of the largest in Moravia before the Second World War. A Jewish cemetery on the hillside contains tombstones from the 17th century onward.
