If it’s February then it’s the Month of Furmint

Wine lovers can once again dedicate a whole month to one of the great varieties of the Carpathian Basin: furmint. Besides the many wine shows in February there is a growing number of restaurants offering furmint on their wine lists so this is the right time to give it a try.

This month for the ninth consecutive year is Furmint February when we are celebrating furmint. This was the first ever initiative in Hungary to turn the spotlight on a single variety with dedicated events all through the month. Starting last year 1 February is also the date of the International Furmint Day and in 2018 it coincides with the Big Furmint February Tasting to be held at Vajdahunyad Castle in the City Park of Budapest.

At the Big Furmint February Tasting visitors can taste at least 150 wines from close to 100 wineries. The wines on offer will definitely include sparkling wines and the lovers of sweet wines and aszús are going to have a field day as well. The majority of the exhibitors will represent Tokaj the wine region with the greatest tradition in growing furmint however thanks to new plantings of the variety in the last decade more and more wine regions join the furmint camp. Besides Somló, another region with longstanding furmint tradition, the wineries of Eger, Balaton, Pécs and other regions in neighbouring countries will be offering their wines to visitors.

Due to the limited capacity of the special location visitors are well-advised to buy tickets in advance. The Big Furmint February Tasting is a great opportunity to get a comprehensive picture of the variety and to make an imaginary journey covering the best wine regions of the Carpathian Basin with glass in hand.

Place: Museum of Hungarian Agriculture (City Park of Budapest, Vajdahunyad Castle)
