Belvárosi Wine & Champagne Festival, Szabadság Tér Budapest, 20 - 25 May
After the huge success of the past years’ Wine & Champagne Festivals, we’re doing it again in the heart of Budapest: the 5th Belvárosi Wine & Champagne Festival is back on Szabadság tér.

Join us as we kick off the summer in the very centre of the city with a relaxed, open‑air wine and champagne tasting experience. For six days you’ll find the best wineries and sparkling wine cellars from all over Hungary, alongside a carefully curated selection of the finest street food stands. Whether you’re into bold reds, elegant whites, or crisp sparkling wines, there’s something for every palate.

Come together with friends, colleagues, and new faces to make this year’s Pentecost long weekend one to remember. As the sun sets over the Pest side of the Danube, the square turns into a lively, stylish outdoor wine bar under the stars.

Why you should join:

* Outstanding wine and champagne selection from Hungary’s top producers
* High‑quality street food from some of the best local vendors
* A friendly, international crowd in the heart of the city
* Wonderful atmosphere next to the Parliament and the Danube
* Warm summer evenings ideal for open‑air drinks and conversations
* A great place to meet friends, colleagues, and maybe even someone special

Dates and opening hours:

Wednesday: 14:00–00:00
Thursday–Monday: 12:00–00:00

Practical info for visitors:

* Entrance is free – you only pay for what you drink.
* For tastings and drinks you’ll need a special festival glass, which you buy once and reuse it
