We will start our journey at Mád, a picturesque village to charm you for for the fist sight. A beautifully renovated old Synagogue is standing in its center, and a number or renowned wineries. We go for a "treasure hunting" in an underground world, and get introduced to the wines of the region.
We are going to pass by this historical wine-making village with a still active Jewish community.
The little town of Tokaj is the heart of the wine region with colorful old-fashioned houses and a romantic vibe. It is time to have some lunch and an other wine tasting. Here we are going to visit two different wine cellars. Both are part of an at least 500 years-old gorgeous underground labyrinth.

If you enjoy wine, country atmosphere, expert commentary by both guides and cellar personnel, and a very pleasant ride in the idyllic countryside you will get it all with Anita and Christina. We reveled in the gorgeous late summer weather, learned about the history of this ancient wine growing region, visited magnificent, arch-typical cellars, sampled some exquisite wines, had a very good country inn lunch, and was back in Budapest in time for dinner. If you get the chance, take this tour. Pickup was on time, drive comfortable, guides professional and courteous, and wine without equal. The two cellars we visited presented a contrast, one modern, and technologically empowered, the other very traditional and warm and personal. Both cellar hosts were welcoming and very informative.
