This was a fun start to a Saturday evening out. I appreciate that the groups are small. As a solo traveler it made it very easy to chat with the other guests. The sommelier, Bolasz, was very knowledgeable but did not over complicate the tasting at all. The cellar setting is really nice. The charcuterie pairing was delicious as well! It’s a fun couple of hours, tasting delicious Hungarian wine, and making new friends.

They upgraded me for free to the deluxe experience courtesy of two of people booking that option, so that was very nice of them! Overall, informative and enjoyable, great quality wines and food, plus the sommelier resisted the urge to talk about aromas and flavours and stuck to the facts.
Fantastic tasting experience

Fantastic experience! Had a really nice sommelier who talked us through the history of Hungary wine and the different wine regions. Food and wine was great, sadly felt a little rushed in the end and more time would have been nice.
This is a must!

If you enjoy learning about and drinking wine, I highly recommend this evening wine tasting. Our session was led by Sam ( I think that was his name), who was actually Spanish but very knowledgeable about Hungarian wine. We sampled eight different wines and all were delicious. Sam was very generous with his time (and his pours!) and our session went quite a bit longer than the allotted two hours. The room was very comfortable and we enjoyed the atmosphere and the yummy cheese and charcuterie that accompanied our wines.
Great intro to Hungarian Wine!

I wish I could remember the young man’s name that was our expert. He was from Spain with only two years in Hungary but really knew his Hungarian Wine and history of. I was surprised at how great all of the wines were. There were 8, and not small pours! I also appreciate they gave us info on how to order the wine in the USA since we don’t ever see it on the shelf.
Excellent evening activity

We ended up with a small group- just 3 couples. We were quite a quiet group but had a wonderful time. Sam was an excellent host and gave us plenty of knowledge about the wine and food. He was also good humoured and friendly. I would recommend this experience to anyone. It was excellent value for money and a chance to do something completely different. Hungarian wine is rare outside of Hungary so it was a great beginners experience of Hungarian wine.
Fun evening learning about Hungarian wine
