Invitation: 6th Pálinka & Sausage Festival, Budapest, 4 - 7 October
A special selection of tequilas and the finest Mexican cuisine will appear side by side with Pálinka and Hungarian Sausages in the Buda Castle next weekend. This annual festival of Hungary's finest spirits and cuisine has invited Mexico to join in the fun and bring along a few bottles of its national drink and some invigorating Latin-American rhythms.

The 6th Annual Pálinka and Sausage Festival is again situated in one of the most beautiful places in Budapest, the Oroszlános and Hunyadi courtyards of the Royal Castle. This year, the main stage is moved to the Oroszlános courtyard, so that even more people can dance during concerts.

After hosting Russia and Italy in previous years, this year Mexico and its famous spirit, tequila, is higlighted. Visitors will have the chance to find out how agave is turned into tequila and how some of the well-known Mexican specialties are made. Also, 25 pálinka distilleries, 10 sausage manufacturers, and several wine and cheese-makers will have their goods on display.

A new and advanced electronic payment system ensures that tasting will be a convenient experience for visitors. Tickets are 2000 Forints, and the price includes a tasting glass.
