We had a fantastic time on our tour in Vienna. Tamas and Paulo were great hosts and took us to try some amazing wine and food. Met some wonderful people and even got an exclusive peek at some exquisite collections in the secret cellars. Loved every minute of it. We will definitely be going again next time In Vienna and will be trying the tour in Budapest next time we are there too, as we were gutted we didn’t realise there was a Budapest tour available while we were there already. Highly recommend.

Really fantastic tour. Guide was super friendly and knowledgeable and so were the winery owners. Really get to learn a lot about Hungarian wine. Food was great too.

We had an absolutely great time with Julianna on our half-day tour to the Etyek wine region, just outside Budapest. It was definitely one of the highlights of our entire trip and one of the best decisions! I highly debated booking this tour, as I wasn't sure what our day to day itinerary was going to look like in Budapest and didn't feel like we had enough time to commit to a full day trip, but definitely wanted to see something outside of the city. My family is very much into wine, and thought this would be a good topic! The tour was simply fantastic! Julianna drove us to Etyek while giving us a very thorough and interesting history/culture lesson on Budapest and Hungary, throughout the different centuries all linked to the wine production and legacy of the region. It helped solidify some of the history knowledge we've been picking up, while adding really interesting facts and cool twist! Once in Etyek, we got to visit, chat, learn and sample from family wine producers on a very intimate and unique setting! We visited Nádas wine workshop and Anonym winery. I've done wine tasting and tours before, but have never done anything quite like this... it felt very personal, unique and the winemakers were all so candid and open to share everything about their own personal story and wine production, we learned tons! we also tasted exquisite wines!! We usually gravitate towards reds, but the wines we tried (from this mainly white-wine region) basically made converts of all of us! :) We ended the evening at a small family run winery/restaurant, Debreczeni-Ferenczi winery, with a fantastic dinner and chat with a lovely local family, we simply had a blast. We left the tour full, wine-happy and with a new local friend! Julianna - we'll definitely be in touch whenever we are back in the area, thank you soooo much for a fantastic experience!!! One additional note - I didn't book this trip until fairly last minute, maybe 2 days before. During our trip, I realized how much coordination effort goes behind the scenes for them to set up the visits and dinner with the winemakers and for them to be able to align their schedule and planning, specially during the low season when they might not be running the tours that often. I felt bad about booking so last minute and really appreciated everyone's efforts to make it work, but would kindly suggest/ask that you consider this and try to book as early as possible.

A great trip from the start. Friendly and knowledgable host. Truley delicious chocolate paired with fantastic wine and an incredibly tasty lunch. What's not to like! It was my husbands birthday and he got a candle in his desert which was a great nice touch. I would recommend this trip

This was such a delightful experience. Our tour guide, Julianna, was absolutely amazing. We were a group of different nationals which made this even more interesting. As a solo traveler, this was a great way to meet new people. You simply MUST sign up for this tour when in the region. So much wine, food, laughs and memories to last a lifetime.

We did the wine country tour. Great trip, good food, charming people. Nice to see the countryside and very old wineries and distilleries

We spent a gorgeous sunny afternoon driving out from Budapest to the Etyek wine region, approximately 30 mins out of town. Our first experience was tasting hand made chocolates paired with white and red wines. This takes place in the kitchen at the owner’s house in the village of Etyek. Our host was great and explained the intricacies of the art of chocolate making. You can even have a go at making bonbons. Bars of chocolate and bonbons are available for purchase and come beautifully packaged. They make excellent gifts but there is no pressure to buy whatsoever. We then proceeded to a nearby vineyard where we tasted more of the local wines in a wonderful purpose built visitor centre with views out over the hills. To finish off the day we went to another nearby vineyard and Bed and Breakfast where the owner provided more wine for us to sample followed by a traditional 2 course Hungarian meal. We enjoyed a delicious game stew of Venison and Wild Boar, freshly hunted by the host and prepared by his wife. This was followed by a sour cherry strudel. They will happily cater for any dietary requests as long as you tell your guide so they can have some notice. Thank You to Louis, our driver for taking good care of us. Thank You especially to our charming guide Margaret, who was very informative and, most of all, great fun. There was much laughter and that really made the trip great. All in all we were away over 5 hours. It was a memorable trip and a wonderful way to meet and spend time with local people. Most interactions are with hotel staff or waiters! It was also great to get outside the city and see some beautiful countryside.

This was a great tour by Michael, we were picked up from our hotel in Vienna and we explored the vineyards nearby Vienna( outside the city unlike it’s name ), all the vineyard hosts were wonderful and had some of the best wines I have tasted. Dinner was also excellent and so was our evening with our amazing,knowledgable and funny guide Michael, he added the feather to the cap! 😄

Loved the wine tour, which was a cosy group size (about 6 of us). It was an interesting visit to family run, small sized operations. Wine servings were also really generous-- we had about 9 glasses in total. The lunch served was homemade and really good. The guide picked us up at 10am and we were back at 2 pm.

This was just a lovely day. My review will probably not do this justice. Our excellent and friendly driver/host (Julianna) picked us up at our hotel. We collected the other adventurers on our tour (8 of us in total) and off we went to Etyek. We had selected the Chocolate tasting and decided to make it a Lunch tour (Dinner is also offered). We were taken to the Gingallo Chocolaterie in a cute little home. Viktoria, the owner, was so gracious, and provided us with an excellent lesson all about chocolates and the real way to taste chocolate, especially with wine. We even got to make some special truffles. The crew came back for us and we were shuttled to an amazing family vineyard nearby for more tastings and lunch. The family was very hospitable, the wine was perfectly paired, and the food was like your favorite Aunt cooked it. We laughed and had a great time with our fellow travellers from the US, Australia and Scandinavia. Julianna, our host and guide, was delightful. Her energy was infectious and her knowledge was truly appreciated. We like to take unique tours while we travel. We prefer to be in smaller groups and this was one of our favorite days of our 2 week trip to the Danube region. We left with the gift of great memories and some amazingly delicious chocolate. We highly recommend this excursion.

We were really looking forward to this wine tour, but must say that we were extremely disappointed. The communication and logistics were a real issue. We were told we'd hear 48 hours before the trip was to start as to where they could pick us up and to confirm that the trip was on. We heard nothing and so I e-mailed several times and heard nothing. We ended up calling Trip Advisor back in the U.S. - Viator - and that person tried to reach the tour operator, and we ended up reaching their Budapest folks and did not have success with confirmation. So that was a wasted 30 minute phone call back to the U.S. and I can't wait to see that phone bill on my cell bill! I CANCELLED the trip, even though I was told I'd have to pay anyway, and I asked the Trip Advisor person to reverse that. After I cancelled the trip, we went out to enjoy the day. That evening, we DID receive confirmation that the tour was still on for the next afternoon and to please consider re-joining the tour. Since we DID want to go on the trip, we said "okay" and they were to pick us up right by our apartment the next day. The driver, Seth, was a great guy (spoke fluent English or German) and we enjoyed him very much. The pick ups were very disorganized, however (from the home office) and we ended up, with traffic, spending over an hour just picking people up - after leaving the city, Seth received a call, and he had to go back into the city to pick up another couple. Because of this wasted time, we only had time for 2 visits (not 3, as promised). The single vineyard we visited was lovely and we enjoyed our allotted tastings; we were also allowed to pick a free bottle to bring back with us, due to all the delays. The second/final stop was for dinner, where we were also served an assortment of wines. Overall a very disappointing tour and I would not recommend, considering the cost. This was also our first trip on TripAdvisor and I was very diappointed - too many middle-men. I would not book another trip again.

We had the best time on this tour, thanks to our host Julianna. She was amazing and so was our small group. All the vineyards we visited were different and very cool. Out of all the wines there was only one I didn't like too much. Booking was easy and effortless and pickup was also on time.

No words can utter more... best tour i ever had ... especially mention , Juliana our tour master .. she was very informative , pleasant ... that’s aside from her beauty ☺️... i strongly recommend this must do when visit budapest

We were the only ones who did the chocolate tasting but it was great. There was wine with the chocolate and it was very interesting. The dinner was really nice and of course came with more wine. The hosts were very entertaining. Hungarian wine is pretty good if you ask me but hard to come by outside of the country as they can't make enough for themselves. So buy whilst you are there but watch your baggage weight limit.

I was a little concerned that there were so few reviews for this trip but decided to book on the basis that it was going to be a small group tour. Confirmation of exact pick up location and time didn't come through till the evening before we were due to go on the trip but Jennifer was very helpful and when she said she would confirm by a certain time, she did. Our driver, Seth, was punctual and friendly. This was his first time visiting some of the stops on the itinerary so there was, at times, a reliance on satnav. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't actually a tour of a vineyard, this is more of a winetasting tour and one stop was more of a bar/restaurant/wine merchant. Overall, the wine was good, the food was good and the company (6 from USA, 2 from Scotland and Seth) was interesting and friendly. Weingut Pfaffl was by the far the best stop on the itinerary. The guide clearly had a passion for her work and the wine was exceptionally good.
