Budapest Pálinka & Sausage Festival This Weekend
In line with popular custom, the 2014 Pálinka and Sausage Festival will once again be held in the Buda Castle. The event will exhibit over four hundred different types of pálinka, plus visitors are invited to, "enjoy hand-crafted sausages, cheeses and other meat based delicacies at the 8th Pálinka and Sausage Festival in the Buda Castle". We're told whisky will also be available, read on for details.

The traditional atmosphere guaranteed by the wide range of pálinka distillates will apparently be enriched this year by a range of live music concerts.

The guest distillate, known as „uisge beatha” or the ‘water of life’, otherwise known as Whisky will also be on offer. According to organisers, "one can never get enough of good quality Whisky, of which the festival will exhibit a broad range, the best quality of the genre to be tasted and explored by visitors".

The price of a day pass will again be HUF 2000 - that includes not only a tasting glass but also a welcome shot as well.
