Highlights
- Wine the Gap Borbár és Rendezvénytér - “If you live in Rome do what the romans do”. If you are in Hungary taste what the locals taste. Did you know that Hungary is considered to be wine drinking nation (rather than beer)? You will have a chance to taste 6 +1 indigenous Hungarian white wines, such as the “Unpronounceable Grape” called Cserszegi fűszeres, Hárslevelű or probably our best known grape Furmint, which is the basic grape of Tokaji Aszú. Among the red you can taste Kékfrankos, Kadarka and Bull’s Blood. Besides tasting these wine I will tell you the history of winemaking in Hungary. As a wine journalist and wine judge I know a lot of wine makers in personal. I will also tell some funny stories regarding their wines which we taste. Also do not forget that most of the wines can be only tasted or bought in Michelin star restaurants and top hotels in Budapest.

Best wine tasting ever! - This was by far the best wine tasting I’ve ever attended. Miklos shared so much of his extensive knowledge with us. He served delicious meats & cheese and an addictive spread. The wines he served were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this tour.

Lovely group activity, highly enjoyable - Lovely evening trying some fantastic Hungarian wines and food - who knew Hungry does such nice wines! Fascinating to find out more about the wines and the local culture too. We all agreed we'll be keeping an eye out for Hungarian wines in the future! One of our party was vegetarian and this was catered for. We were a hen group and this was an enjoyable first night activity.

The BEST wine tasting! - Words cannot express how much fun this wine tasting was! Miki was patient, energetic and had a strong passion for Hungarian wine. Hungarian wine is a hidden gem! From the rose, to the red, to the white, everything tasted amazing. We had a late tasting since we landed in Budapest the same night and Miki kept the energy up! The food was also a pleasant surprise, (the best cheese I had on the trip). Budapest has a special place in my heart. Everyone should book this your if you have the chance!
