The House of Hungarian Wines (posted review)

y9fjimz996You could think that paying 3500Ft (about 14€) to visit a cellar is slightly too expensive… It depends on what you can do in the cellar!! In fact, you can see a lot of bottles of wine from the different wine areas of Hungary, panels (in German, English and French) explain what are the main characterisitc of each region. It starts to become interesting when you know that for each region, you also have a few open bottles and that you can use them to (re)fill the glass you get at the intrance… At the end, you have the possibility to taste 55 different kind of wine!! Be careful and don’t pour full glass but just a sip of each wine otherwise you want be able to finish the visit 😉 My personnal list is as follow: Szöke – Matraaljai – chardonnay Szekszardi – vinarium – cabernet franc Mohácsi – Vaskapu – Kasteli Villányi – wunderlich – Alajos – Monarchia Villányi – Le Sommelier – Cabernet Sauvignon (***) Egri – PPP KFTT – Monarchia – Leánika-Zengö Hajosi – Cabernet Sauvignon Last thing to mention, this is not open in the morning: from noon till 8pm… Ah, and I almost forgot it: this is of course a fresh place, it can be a huge incentive during one of these hot summerdays…

Directions: In front of the Hilton Hotel, close to St. Matthias Church.
