"Discover the Taste of Hungary!" Here there are almost 140 grape varieties, in up to 22 historic wine regions. More than 200 wineries at this years Wine Festival represent all the Hungarian wine regions, and most of the varieties. In 2015 there are themed wine routes, so those who are maybe less confident in their knowledge of local wines can easily find their way around. It is the stated goal of the organizers to help guests explore as many tastes and flavours as they can during this mega annual wine festival.

Press release: What’s the secret of Tokaji Aszú? What goes into Bikavér (bull’s blood), a special red blend produced in Eger and Szekszárd? Where does the scent of Cserszegi Fűszeres or Irsai Olivér come from? What’s the difference between a light and a full-bodied Furmint?

How is rosé, a definite summer favourite, made? These are the questions that will be answered at the Budapest Wine Festival, where guests from all over the world gather to learn about Hungarian wines from our best wine makers and producers.
