5.00Ben was a great host and was very versed in Hungarian wine. We ended up coming back to the shop the next day to buy a couple of bottles of what we had sampled. Charcuterie selections were amazing as well. This was a fun way to start our trip in Budapest as we felt more knowledgeable selecting wines at restaurants during our stay.

5.00Tamas is a vintner and so knowledgeable about Hungarian wines and wine growing regions. Our charcuterie plates were perfect complements to the delicious wines we tasted. He shared history and both wine and culinary expertise with us. We highly recommend this sophisticated experience!

3.00Though billed as a „Premium“ tasting, I’m afraid we were a bit disappointed with some of the selections. The wines just seemed average, especially the reds. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable setting and pleasant wine host.

Always Exceeds Expectations

5.00If you are looking for a friendly but very professional wine tasting experience, you’ll find it here. I always schedule a tasting here whenever I visit Budapest. The vast selection of wines and the broad knowledge base of the sommeliers will not disappoint. If you’ve never tasted Hungarian wines, be prepared for a unique experience. There are so many indigenous grapes in Hungary. You’ve never heard of many of them but they will impress you. If a fun, friendly, intelligent evening is in your plans this is the place. Not to be missed. Highly recommended.
