Day Excursions
Tokaj Wine Tour
Over the years, the name of the oldest Hungarian wine region has become synonymous with the name of its most famous product: the Tokaji Aszú. A dessert wine that has been loved and consumed by European royalty for centuries is also known as the king of wines and wine of kings. The local winemakers are doing their very best preserving this invaluable knowledge and are constantly at work to supply a growing need for the aszú. Bear with us on this day trip and find out how the winemakers of Tokaj still use an ancient technique to gather the shriveled wine grapes that are essential for making this divine nectar. Tokaj, however, produces other wines as well that should be just as famous as the aszú and the locally made charcuterie delicacies will also make you fall in love with this region.
Being only a couple of hours from Budapest, Tokaj offers a great opportunity to leave the city behind for a day and try the most famous Hungarian wines right where they are made.
