Relaxing, low-key way to spend a very enjoyable evening!

5.00We went on a weekday night in early March and ended up as the only ones booked that night. It was a very pleasant, relaxed evening with the sommelier in the cozy wine cellar. We are fairly experienced wine drinkers and tasters and enjoyed learning about Hungarian wines, the country's wine business, and a little about Hungarian cheeses and meats. It is not expected that one will love every wine tasted, but we felt this was a really good value--for the experience and opportunity to learn from a knowledgeable and earnest host. The cheese and charcuterie were quite tasty, too.
Excellent- highly recommend

5.00This was a really lovely intimate evening and a great way to meat people from others areas of the world. The experience from start to finish was amazing with having a very informative sommelier, through telling us the history of Hungary itself along with the making of their wine. Each wine was delicious along with its food paring and I couldn’t recommend this experience enough.
Lovely, interesting evening.

5.00Thomas, sorry about the spelling of your name was a great wine expert. He taught us so much about Hungarian wines. I loved this experience. It’s more couples that go to this, but you can definitely do it solo
Wonderful tasting!

5.00I had a wonderful wine tasting led by Thomas, a highly knowledgeable and passionate sommelier. He shared fascinating insights not only about the wines but also about Hungarian history, making the experience truly immersive. All 8 wines we tasted were excellent. I walked away with a much deeper understanding of how Hungary’s diverse microclimates and soil compositions shape the unique character of its wines. Highly recommended!
Wonderful Time
