My husband and I attended the Deluxe Evening, featuring nine wonderful Hungarian wines accompanied by a selection of delicious Hungarian snacks. We had a fantastic time, enjoyed great company, and truly loved the whole experience. Our sommelier was incredibly friendly and engaging. He had impressive depth of knowledge and introduced us to many interesting Hungarian wines we probably never would have discovered on our own. His enthusiasm and entertaining way of presenting the wines made the evening even more enjoyable. It was probably one of the most enjoyable evenings we spent in Budapest. The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and friendly, and the city-centre location was perfect. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Budapest. A fantastic evening, wonderful wines, delicious food, and a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended!
This was a very fun way to taste local wines, meats, and cheeses. We met some great people and enjoyed the afternoon together. I would definitely do this again.
The wine cellar is quaint; the charcuterie set up prepared in advance; and the wine specialist knowledgeable and informative. We have a greater understanding of Hungarian wines. Pourings and food were generous. It was a pleasurable experience. We highly recommend !
A wonderful experience, such a fun afternoon!
Learned about the wine regions of Hungary. Wine was good. Meats and cheeses also very nice. Guide did a nice job of keeping us engaged and on time. This is a great experience!
Great experience! We were delighted to learn that we were the only 2 in the group so Vivian gave us a private tasting. She is extremely knowledgeable about Hungarian wine and also informative about the region’s wine. She is friendly and gave us great recommendations for other tourist sites and restaurants. We had a tipsy time! Highly recommend!
Well executed wine tasting with very well-read staff as our guide. We enjoyed it and the food pairings were on point. Would do again.
This was a lovely cellar shop and our Sommelier, Augustine, was very knowledgeable about Hungarian wines. He made the experience interactive and enjoyable. I would do this again. They pour full glasses of wine for you to taste.
Very nice wine tasting setting that lasted for 2 hours. The local wines were good, and there was interesting conversation at the shared tables with couples from various countries.
The wine tasting was a wonderful experience and a great introduction to Hungarian wines. Unfortunately, we can’t remember the name of our facilitator, but he was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining the different wines, regions, and grape varieties. We really enjoyed the experience and learned a great deal about Hungary’s rich wine culture. We highly recommend this tasting to anyone interested in discovering and exploring Hungarian wines!
This was a fun experience and highly recommended.
Very interesting wine tasting, enjoyed my first introduction to Hungarian wines. The charcuterie board was also good
On arrival, the wine tasting was set up perfectly with tables which promoted a sociable environment. I quickly made friends with other attendees from America and Australia, and the conversation flowed …as did the wine. Our host was not just incredibly knowledgeable about Hungarian wine, he was passionate about it which made for a truly informative experience. The wine and cheese he’d selected were paired superbly and left me wondering why I’d not consumed Hungarian wine before! Moving forward, I shall be!
Excellent afternoon of amazing beautiful Hungarian wines cheeses and meats. Thomas was so knowledgeable
There were eleven of us and we all got on, the man was super knowledgeable- the charcuterie board was wonderful, really complemented the wines. Thoroughly recommend- absolutely no complaints
The wine tasting with Ben was an awesome experience!!! Ben was so knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. We enjoyed every minute of the tasting event. It was amongst our favorite activities while visiting Budapest! We highly recommend this Hungarian wine tasting experience!
Fantastic afternoon, guide and wines and food just perfect loved it
It was a very relaxing afternoon with good wine, cheese and cold cuts. Very informative. We loved the pumpkin seed oil as well. Actually bought a few bottles to take home. Would totally recommend this experience.
Excellent experience. Knowledgeable sommelier. Lovely Hungarian wines. Great way to spend some time. Highly recommended.
Exposure to Hungarian wine is very limited in the states. We did the 3pm 5 wine tasting and it was great to get some preliminary exposure to the region. 2 reds, 2 whites, and a unique Hungarian dessert wine. The sommelier was incredibly welcoming, and one of the bottles we purchased was packed up by the winemaker himself there during the event. A great experience, would absolutely recommend.
This experience was excellent! There was a great selection of wines, a charcuterie board was included, and the host was highly knowledgeable about Hungarian wines.
What a fabulous afternoon! From start to finish it exceeded our spectations! A lovely group of people to share the afternoon with. Our guide was great, friendly and his knowledge for the different wines were second to none! Would highly recommend this trip. Worth every penny or more! Thank you!
A lot of Informations about hungarian vines in a very friendly atmosphere, high quality of wines, tasty cheese and sausages.
Tasty and fun wine tasting experience, with excellent cheese and cured meat pairings. Tamàs was informative and funny, and all the patrons were best friends after 5 wines. We highly recommend.
Great experience with a very knowledgeable host, would do again
My friend and I had a great afternoon wine tasting hosted perfectly, felt at ease and sampled some great wines, cheeses and meats.
This was an excellent introduction to Hungarian wines and the cheese and meats to go with them. Thomas made it a fun experience and I would throughly recomend it to everybody.
Great wine with fantastic pairings. We enjoyed 2 whites, two red and a wonderful sweet white wine from Tokaj. The cheese and charcuterie were spot on.
Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday’s wine tasting session. The sommelier was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Informative friendly and excellent value for money. Highly recommend spending 90 minutes of your time doing this activity when visiting Budapest.
The afternoon was excellent, there was a wide variety of fantastic wines, cheeses and meats. Would highly recommend to anyone
The sommelier knew the wines and they were paired nicely with the charcuterie board. He spent time talking about the wines, then allowed us 15 minutes to enjoy the wine and food. It was a pleasant experience with good wine.
It was so fun. Very knowledgeable sommelier, cracked lots of jokes, and explained things very clearly. We Made friends with a lovely couple & went to their store across the street to chat after! Extremely friendly host & shop clerk. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for an activity to do
Wonderful experience! Loved all the explanations of wine regions, grapes and soil compositions. Pairings were spot on!
Great learning opportunity about Hungary as well as the wines and other products offered by Hungary. The pace was enjoyable and the wines and charcuterie were enjoyable.
A wonderful experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable. Exceeded all my expectations. And I am a Sommelier so they were high. Highly recommend this experience.
Super fun and enjoyable experience to learn more about wine and have a great time. Tasting was great and tasty and the experience was awesome to enjoy as a group or as a solo traveler.
The wines were carefully selected to give us a true taste of the various Hungarian regions - 2 whites, 2 reds and a special dessert wine. All with a wonderful board of cheeses and meats to accompany and pair with the chosen wines. There was a basket of bread with an oil dip, also meant to enhance the tastes. The presentation by our sommelier was easy to follow and it was clear that they are very proud of their winemaking heritage. All this in an adorable little brick room across from their store. Just go - you will enjoy and it’s well worth the reasonable cost.
Very unique and fun experience. Informative and educational. A history lesson in Hungarian wines with some humor and expertise. We enjoyed the tasting and the charcuterie very much. Group seating and a nice change to meet and talk to other tourists. A great afternoon session providing a nice break in the walking and sightseeing.
Would definitely recommend this wine tasting experience. Delicious wines and charcuterie and we met some lovely people too!
Amazing charcuterie board, we were so pleasantly surprised!!! Our host was also amazing and so insightful. We strongly recommend booking this for your next trip to Budapest
An interesting experience from a knowledgeable and enthusiastic Hungarian Wine expert. We learnt about why Hungarian Wine is rarely found in the UK or other countries. Some enjoyable wines to sample along with cheeses and charcuterie.
Great setting for a tasting. Guide did a great job with the wines and explaining things. The charcuterie provided, while of great quality, was a bit lacking in quantity, especially at this price point.
Tomas was excellent. Very informative and fun! I never had Hungarian wines before and was fun to learn about them. They were delicious. Very well organized. Charcuterie boards had delicious cheese and meats! Make sure you try the sweet wine at the end. I’m not a fan of sweet wine but this one will surprise you!
Terrific wine tasting experience of Hungarian wines with 5 couples. Lovely space in cellar. Great wines with terrific host.
Tomas hosted a excellent tasting. He was very knowledgeable with the local wines, there was lots of information without it being boring. 5 wines were the perfect amount along with the delicious cheese & meats to accompany.
Extremely enjoyable experience in a character-filled cellar in the heart of Budapest. Thomas led the group on an informative journey detailing the history of viticulture in Hungary. The wines presented were delicious and varied, truly highlighting the different varietals and flavor profiles available from Hungarian producers. The charcuterie and cheeses accompanying the wines were authentic products from local artisanal farms, and paired wonderfully with the wines. Definitely recommend investing in this experience, and will be ordering wines again and again for delivery to the US!
Wow learned so much about Hungarian wines and the science behind winemaking. The cheeses and meats complimented the wines we tasted. Perfect afternoon activity.
Great experience if you want an overview of Hungarian wines! Definitely would highly recommend this experience if you’re looking to experience Hungarian wine culture and great vibes.
