Hungary’s finest wine festival arrives with refined taste and stylish composition
Change language:
The Buda Castle, perched on a hilltop overlooking the Danube, is one of the most critical sites in Hungarian history and has witnessed many significant events over the centuries. One of the most essential wine events is the Budapest Wine Festival (Budapest Borfesztivál), which will once again take place between 12 and 15 September in the beautiful and imposing walls of the Buda Castle, which defines the panorama of the Danube. Visitors to the Wine Festival will once again be able to admire Hungary’s rich heritage and discover the country’s wine excellence as they stroll through the buildings that preserve its traditions.
Budapest Wine Festival 2024
The event changes and expands according to the needs of the guests, and year after year, it strives to offer a special experience that will make returning visitors fall in love with it all over again. To achieve this, the Wine Festival’s services, professional programs, and offerings are expanding, evolving, and improving.
The booths of the wineries making their debut this year will be worth tasting, as the attentive festival-goer will find some real gems. For lovers of organically grown grapes, the Quiar Birtok booth is a must, and for those who fancy a trip to the north shore of Lake Balaton, the award-winning wines of PALO Borbirtok are a perfect choice. The Fivérek Borbirtok will bring their best red Hungarian wines from the Szekszárd wine region, but they will also offer a selection of sparkling wines.
Guest of Honour: Georgia
It is a long-established tradition that the Wine Festival welcomes a Guest of Honour from a country or wine region. This year, Georgia, known as the cradle of winemaking, will showcase its culture, gastronomy, and ancient winemaking practices of 8,000 years, blended with modern technology. Visitors will be able to taste over 500 different types of Georgian wine.
A special tasting master class will be conducted daily from 18.45 to 19.45! (free of charge) You will have an opportunity to enjoy Georgian culture and watch graceful Georgian dance performances on September 13 and 14, starting at 20.00.
