The press in the center of the village comes directly from Dubová and is from the second half of the 19th century. In 1889 it was made by the local master carpenter Ján Kosec. The press is 128 years old, the wood used for its production is still decades older. The press is an all-wood double-spindle with lower spindle tightening. It was made of oak wood. Its height is 236 cm, width 170 cm. The press has one cloth basket for grapes (70 cmx44 cm, height 67 cm). Two 125 cm long wooden spindles point to the basket. The upper clade is reinforced with two iron wedges at the joints with the sides. The table has a rectangular shape with dimensions of 103 cm x 90 cm and there is a drain channel for must.
According to contemporary testimonies, the press was placed in the possession of a local farmers' cooperative. In the years 2016-2017, it was saved by the municipality from liquidation as surplus assets and completely restored. Preserved original parts were treated and damaged parts that could not be saved were replaced with a true copy. The missing parts have been added so that the press can be fully functional again. Professional Restoration Research and Restoration of the Historical Press was performed by the Digitization Center of the SNP Museum in Banská Bystrica. The renewal of the press was provided by the municipality of Dubová in cooperation with the Malokarpatský Museum in Pezinok, which bought it and placed it in a deposit in a public space in the municipality of Dubová. The vineyard exposition in the center of the village was ceremoniously opened in 2017.
