Picnickers can hop from cellar to cellar to enjoy varied whites, reds, and rosés from several Hungarian wine regions, while lively events and entertainment includes outdoor cooking displays, live music, and a bike tour. While the festival is mainly concentrated in the Újhegy section of Etyek, it is worthwhile to visit Öreghegy (“Old Hill” in Hungarian) as well, which features a more serene atmosphere that features a few outstanding cellars.
