We enjoyed our time in the wine cellar tasting and learning about the different wines of the region. We bought a bottle for later which is what they want you to do! Because there were 3 large groups and the 2 of us, it could have been better. It is run by a husband and wife and he serves and... More

Although the owners seems to be passionate for a wine, I found the atmosphere a bit pushing. Wines were not so good as we expected and very pricey. Well, I missed the spirit there. More

I booked the 9 red wine tasting tour via email after having seen the posts below that detail that it is worthwhile booking in advance. IT IS as while we were there for 3.5 hours tasting high quality, low production Hungarian wines all 6 tables were booked! Thanks to Gabor and his wife who really do give you a great... More

We reserved the 6 red wine tasting in advance after reading several glowing recommendations. Gabor and Barbara were extremely helpful and flexible when we had to change the timing of our reservation. The experience was wonderful. Gabor was very informative, and the wines we tasted were great. We especially enjoyed the Bull's Blood on our tasting menu. They also provided... More

Did the smaller tasting 5 pours plus a call back for 4600 HUF. and thought it was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and found the staff to be welcoming and informative. More

We stopped in here for the extended tasting, 8 glasses, generously poured, with cheese and some warm bread. The location was great and the tastings were very interesting and incredibly well presented. The sommelier working there was fantastic and really made it worth our trip. He was very accomdating, full of laughter and incredibly well versed in Hungarian wines. If... More

Really great way to spend an afternoon - down in a cosy, candlelit cellar with a relaxed atmosphere, staff who were friendly, very knowledgeable and keen to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. The wines were great and the snacks delicious! We ended up staying on to have some more wine after the tasting session finished and we also... More

We went for the 9 wine 'Curiousities of Hungary' tasting. It was a wonderful experience. The host was very friendly, giving us plenty of information about the wines, and asking any questions that we had. The wine was also very good, with a good variety tasted. We paid a small premium for some cheese, which was not expensive, and complimented... More
