I was in Budapest for a short time, and wanted to try a range of different Palinka varieties. The place is amazing! Gergo (the host) was very helpful In introducing me to Palinka, allowing me to compare and contrast different styles and flavors. I couldn’t decide which I liked best, so I ended up buying several bottles. I’d recommend this place to anyone who is interested in sampling a uniquely Hungarian tasting experience.

We visited Palinka Museum for a wine tasting with Matthew, and what a fantastic experience! We were able to taste 7 Hungarian (and we'll selected) wines, along with local delicacies of cheese, cured meats and pate. A basket of bread and plenty of water was also provided for each guest, which was sensible given that the tasting measures were fairly generous! Matthew himself was very knowledgeable and engaging. He clearly knows his stuff and is passionate about sharing the wine of Hungary with guests. He was happy to banter and answer questions from our group too which made for a very enjoyable evening. I can thoroughly recommend. Thank you Matthew?

Small, beautiful and interactive museum. It was included in our Szechenyi Thermal Bath ticket, otherwise we wouldn't have found the museum. Very friendly staff. A drink at the end was included. We stayed longer and had something extra.

My boyfriend and I had the Budapest Card, and this experience was free, included in the price of the card. The tasting option includes either 3 types of wine, or 3 types of palinka. I chose the wines ( a glass of red, one rosé and one white ) accompanied by a series of small cheeses and charcuterie meats. We found it very tasty and pleasant. A good experience if you want to try some quality Palinka. Very fast and kind serving and the place was cosy. All in all a great experience!

It’s only not getting a 5 star review as palinka isn’t the greatest! (If you are a vodka or brandy drinker, you’ll enjoy it more than I did!!) It’s small but perfectly formed. Good information in the museum and plenty of options for taste testing the drink. We did the 4- flight, grape, pear, apricot and elderflower and were there a couple of hours. Plenty to choose from including lots of food options. Staff knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks Leah for your help!

Booked with a combined spa visit. Juliet and Ilith gave us good background to the Pálinka and were very helpful. Good pictures and historical information as part of the decor but not overwhelming. Apple Maps didn’t find it as Gastro Cellar but as Palinka Experience so easy to find once we’d worked it out!!
