Walking our way through dinner - My wife and I went on the “Palace District Evening Culinary & Wine Walk, with a Side of History.” Our guide was Aniko. This was our third program with Taste Hungary; on a previous visit to Budapest, we went to one of their wine-tasting dinners, and a tour of vineyards on the way from Budapest to Vienna. On this tour, we brought along other family members. We started off with a delicious charcuterie board and wine tasting at the Tasting Table. The tour was like a multi-course dinner, except that different courses were consumed in different establishments, with the final stop a hotel known for its pastries. There was not too much walking — a good thing as it was raining steadily on the evening we went. It was a delicious taste of the city, and it was our third great experience with Taste Hungary.

A pleasant evening - A very enjoyable evening . We started off with a tutored tasting of 3 excellent Hungarian wines with Carlo( sp?,) a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic sommelier, accompanied with cheese, sausage and something new to us, bread dipped in pumpkin seed oil. Anika ( sp?) led us on the tour of the Palace district of Pest with an excellent historical and social commentary. We visited a pub in the student district for a froccs, a charming patio restaurant for goulash and a generous charcuterie platter with accompanying wines, a Palinka bar and finished the evening at the historical Astoria cafe for a lovely dessert platter. This was a walking tour, and having just arrived in Budapest, we found this a very pleasant way to help get over jet lag

Excellent intro to Hungarian wine, food, and history! - Wonderful experience. Wine tasting, appetizers, and history of Hungarian wines at their shop and then walking tour with food and wine stops in the Palace district with a dinner stop and then a dessert/coffee stop. Fantastic!

Insight into Hungary via Food and Drink - The tour is another fun and fulfilling activity from Taste Hungary--we've done four over two trips to Budapest. It starts with a mini-lesson and tasting of Hungarian wine and cheeses in their tasting room, then out for soup at a tiny counter, a visit to a ruins bar for a drink and tour, a trip around the synagogue, an entree at a traditional restaurant, and finally dessert and coffee in a historic coffee house. The guide provided us interesting information on the architecture and buildings in the area, history, and a view into Hungarian culture via their food and drink. An evening well spent and everyone went home well fed.

Nice tour of the neighbourhood from a great local business! - We have lived in Budapest for the last four years - on the same road as the Tasting Table store and cellar (part of Taste Hungary). We got to meet Gabor, Carolyn and many of the staff over the years and attended various tasting events - they've never let us down. In July 2024, we had a friend visting us in Budapest and decided it would be fun to try the wine walk and tour of our neighbourhood. Again, an excellent experience. Our tour guide, Sarlotta was very knowledgeable and a really fun, cool person. We learned a lot of new things about the Palace quarter. Wine & food great, as always!

Budapest Dinner Walk - This was a great way to see the city and get the high points of the places to go. We were able to taste the Hungarian dishes and finish with the traditional Hungarian desserts.

Food, wine, information and walking - What a great combination - we were lucky enough to have one guide between the two of us, she made the night, very knowledgeable, fun and took us to the largest ruin bar on the way past too - highly recommend. I booked a wine tasting for tomorrow evening for my mum and daughter but didn't realise there's a discount for returning customers so look out for that if it applies
