Rosalia Wine Picnic, City Park Budapest, 29 May – 1  June
This free open-air gastro fest seamlessly blends Hungary’s top rosé wines and fine bubbles, gourmet street food, live music, and a relaxed picnic atmosphere, making it a delight for locals and expats alike.

The most anticipated early-summer celebration in the lush expanse of City Park is on again in 2025, where around 60 wineries and 20 food stands will serve up fine tastes over 3 days.

Entrance is free and includes live music programmes - only an official Rosalia glass needs to be rented or purchased, and then you pay for wines and food consumed.

Notable rosés will be available from the Borbély Family Winery from Badacsony, Dubicz Winery from Mátra and Garamvári Vineyard from South Balaton.

Attendees can also indulge in over 100 gold medal-winning wines from the prestigious VinAgora International Wine Competition, providing a unique opportunity to taste award-winning selections in one place.

At the end of spring, we open the wine festival season with Budapest’s biggest garden party picnic. The Rosalia Wine Picnic team awaits enthusiasts of fine wines and nice bites with numerous programs and discoveries in the capital’s most beautiful park.”
