On arrival, the wine tasting was set up perfectly with tables which promoted a sociable environment. I quickly made friends with other attendees from America and Australia, and the conversation flowed …as did the wine. Our host was not just incredibly knowledgeable about Hungarian wine, he was passionate about it which made for a truly informative experience. The wine and cheese he’d selected were paired superbly and left me wondering why I’d not consumed Hungarian wine before! Moving forward, I shall be!
Excellent afternoon of amazing beautiful Hungarian wines cheeses and meats. Thomas was so knowledgeable
There were eleven of us and we all got on, the man was super knowledgeable- the charcuterie board was wonderful, really complemented the wines. Thoroughly recommend- absolutely no complaints
The wine tasting with Ben was an awesome experience!!! Ben was so knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. We enjoyed every minute of the tasting event. It was amongst our favorite activities while visiting Budapest! We highly recommend this Hungarian wine tasting experience!
Fantastic afternoon, guide and wines and food just perfect loved it
It was a very relaxing afternoon with good wine, cheese and cold cuts. Very informative. We loved the pumpkin seed oil as well. Actually bought a few bottles to take home. Would totally recommend this experience.
Excellent experience. Knowledgeable sommelier. Lovely Hungarian wines. Great way to spend some time. Highly recommended.
Exposure to Hungarian wine is very limited in the states. We did the 3pm 5 wine tasting and it was great to get some preliminary exposure to the region. 2 reds, 2 whites, and a unique Hungarian dessert wine. The sommelier was incredibly welcoming, and one of the bottles we purchased was packed up by the winemaker himself there during the event. A great experience, would absolutely recommend.
This experience was excellent! There was a great selection of wines, a charcuterie board was included, and the host was highly knowledgeable about Hungarian wines.
What a fabulous afternoon! From start to finish it exceeded our spectations! A lovely group of people to share the afternoon with. Our guide was great, friendly and his knowledge for the different wines were second to none! Would highly recommend this trip. Worth every penny or more! Thank you!
