Are you interested in the Hungarian wine culture and would like to try the best wines from around the country? Then Budapest Wine Festival is awaiting you! The unique wine event, which celebrates its 30th birthday this year, will bring its visitors unforgettable wine experiences, along with several exciting programmes.
According to the website of Budapest Wine Festival, after three decades of its first organisation, the event has become more and more popular across the globe, “attracting thousands of foreign visitors to its World Heritage site every year.” Furthermore, in September, the festival is ready to bring new experiences to wine lovers, celebrating its 30th birthday this year. If you have not yet enjoyed the stunning panorama of Budapest with a glass of wine in your hands, this year’s Budapest Wine Festival will be the best time to do so.
Over the years, the Budapest Wine Festival has become one of the most important events of Hungarian wine culture, offering a series of multi-day programs where participants can try the best wines of Hungary. In addition to the important wineries of the country, visitors can also enjoy concerts, exciting gastronomic outings and a classic charity wine auction at the Buda Castle.
Just like in the previous years, the festival’s main focus will be on Hungarian wineries and gastronomic enterprises.
In addition to wines from more than 70 wineries, the event will be full of artisanal desserts, traditional and street food dishes, and an actual “wine festival” atmosphere with several exciting musical productions,
including the Csík band and the Vera Jónás Experiment, as well as special Hungarian Jazz concerts on the third day of the festival. This year, one of the main guest regions of the four-day-long festival is Somló, famous for its memorable wines made on the volcanic hillsides that the visitors can also taste.
