It was the best surprise of our stay in Budapest. We had no expectations, and were blown away by the wine cellar, the atmosphere, the wines and hospitality. It was defined a vip experience. Highly recommend it to anyone who likes wines. The hosts also had great knowledge of the city. They gave great recommendations for the rest of our stay in Budapest. We visited several of the recommended places, and loved it. Great value!

A must-do for wine enthusiasts!

Elizabeth_S, Dec 2025
What a fantastic tasting experience - personalized, educational, and fun! Igor gave us a brief history of the neighborhood and building, which houses rental apartments and an original cellar renovated for the tastings. He presented an overview of the Hungarian wine regions, history, climate, and varieties. We tasted 4 wines and one pálinka. All the snacks were homemade by Igor too. Thank you, Igor!

Dear Elizabeth, This is an honour to get a high grade from an expert! Thank you for your kind words, good luck with your journey through our region and investment to wine culture around Europe. Welcome back any time!

Enjoyable educational experience

Rebecca_W, Nov 2025
There are a lot of stairs down to the tasting room, but rhe experience was worth it. I learned all about the different wine regions in Hungary, their grapes and production levels. The chosen tastings matched well with the snacks, and it was an enjoyable and educational experience.

Amazing little find- would recommend to everyone

EEH_P, Oct 2025
Amazing experience! We weren’t expecting it to be private and just the two of us - we clearly hadn’t read the fine print so when we arrived we were a bit confused. Soon we were met and taken to the most beautiful wine cellar lovingly created by the owners of Gold Central apartments. The Hungarian wine was fantastic and it was accompanied by great conversation on the history of the wine and the regions. The cheese plate was huge so we really couldn’t do it justice but was a great addition to the experience. Overall we loved every minute!

Very good somelier, also...
