Tamas 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!

Though 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.

If 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.

What an interesting wine tasting! A map showing the wine growing regions, a lot of information and thoughtfulness from the guide, and really interesting Hungarian tastes complemented the tasting perfectly. I can't remember a more informative and fascinating tasting. This was such a wonderful and educational evening.

Great evening in a lovely venue learning about the history and wine making expertise across Hungary and sampling several excellent wines from various regions. Have enjoyed this experience twice and very likely to repeat for a third time when I next return to visit Budapest.
Relaxing, low-key way to spend a very enjoyable evening!

We 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.
