World-known celebrities bring their wines to Hungary: try the drinks of Jon Bon Jovi, Sting, Brad Pitt!

If you’re a fan of (Hungarian) wines, we’ve got just the perfect event for you this week! The programme of the XIIth Avasi Wine Tour (XII. Avasi Borangolás) will be further expanded this year: visitors will be able to taste the wines of real world stars in Miskolc between 16-19 May.

From Thursday, the 12th edition of the Avasi Wine Tour will feature 62 wineries at 80 venues in Miskolc. If you’re looking for music programmes, you will not be bored either: 18 concerts will be held on three stages, while street musicians will add to the atmosphere in the cellar rows and wine cellars, turizmus.com reports.
