Prizes for the competition for the best Balaton wines are awarded at the Balatonboglár Wine Festival. The winner of the title 'Master of Balaton Wines' (Balatoni Borok Mestere) goes to the winemaker whose wine receives the most points.

Visitors have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the range offered by the wineries while enjoying concerts and many other entertaining cultural events. This four-day event includes a harvest parade, initiation into the European Wine Knight Order, fireworks and a variety of performances held on two stages. In addition to groups that preserve traditions, musicians and nationally famous bands also appear and the festivities would not be complete without comedy, quizzes, or, of course, the local talent show.

Statistics speak for themselves: Balatonboglár has around 6,000 residents while during the wine festival there are some 30,000 visitors making this celebration one of the largest public events of Transdanubia."
