Mór – Lics wine cellar

This vineyard is located North of the Velencei Lake on 25 hectares. It is a favoured touristic destination since over the picturesque landscape you can often see a beautiful sunset. Thanks to the Meleg-hegy (mountain), which is located North of the vineyards, it has exceptional climate characteristics, making possible the cultivation of special grapes, such as Turán or Blue Medoc.

Szekszárd – Fritz Wine House and Pension

This vineyard laid out on 30 hectares is honouring the local German traditions since 1635. The soil gives a sacred feeling since right next to it, a chapel can be found. It is famous for its white vines.

Tanya Cuvée 2011 is worth trying. It is made of two noble species of grape. The combination of them results in an elegant, silky full wine.
