4.00Overall a great trip. Julianna was a great host, the 3 wineries, country side views, dinner and small party size made it a very pleasant experience. Only negative was the van, AC did not work very well on a hot day.
Awesome day in the Etyek wine region!

5.00Fantastic experience! Our guide Peter was great with wine knowledge and facts about Hungary, and is an all around great guy. 3 excellent wineries, and the dinner at last winery Buzal Morocza was amazing, as were the wines and the wine/dinner server. Nadas Bormohely winery had great variety of delicious wines, and Ester the owner was a wealth of knowledge and is an extremely warm and welcoming person. Optimus winery had some unique and very tasty white wines and the owner is really nice. I highly recommend this tour, and I hope to return to do it again some day.
Time well spent.

5.00Highly recommend. Dinner/evening experience was great, Susan was a fantastic guide and driver. Small group, we ended up with 8 people. Visited 3 different wineries with a home cooked, forest to table meal and wine pairing at the end. Home cooked wild boar meat stew, home made Boar sausage and other dishes were fantastic. They also accommodated gluten, lactose and vegan food allergies. The grounds and ambiance at this last stop were fabulous, relaxed and friendly. They have 4 guest rooms you can stay at and do private events too. Highly recommend if you want to learn about Hungarian wines, wine making, taste lots of wines in a friendly environment. All in an afternoon, near by from Budapest, but feels like a totally different world.
Nice Excursion Out of the City

3.00Booking contact and guide were very accommodating-however the wine experience is limited to white wine tasting-the first Optimus was good -the lunch was average eventhough I didn’t mind the ants on the cheese-not worth the money or time-although did enjoy the other passengers
