Spending a day touring the vineyards, meeting the region’s wine personalities, and tasting amazing wines is the best way to travel. Our tours usually include opportunities to meet the winemakers themselves, and we like to show a mix of the traditional, the experimental, and the modern to give you a complete picture of the state of the region’s wine. In some regions we can arrange a home-cooked lunch at a winery, elsewhere lunch is at a carefully-selected local restaurant where you can sample the regional food. Either way, many of our guests count their meals eaten on our tours among the highlights of their trip. The day will include time for a bit of sightseeing, as well as a vineyard walk to see firsthand where and how the grapes are grown. The final tasting of the day will be accompanied by a selection of cold local products such as artisanal cheese or cured meats. After all, tasting the local foods is essential to the experience of tasting the wine at its source! The great thing about Hungary’s compact size is that every part of the country can be visited on a day trip, and so can regions in Slovakia and Austria. By the end of the tour, you should feel like a specialist in the region you have visited. And you will have gained a wine experience to remember.
