This was a really lovely intimate evening and a great way to meat people from others areas of the world. The experience from start to finish was amazing with having a very informative sommelier, through telling us the history of Hungary itself along with the making of their wine. Each wine was delicious along with its food paring and I couldn’t recommend this experience enough.

What an interesting wine tasting! A map showing the wine growing regions, a lot of information and thoughtfulness from the guide, and really interesting Hungarian tastes complemented the tasting perfectly. I can't remember a more informative and fascinating tasting. This was such a wonderful and educational evening.

Great evening in a lovely venue learning about the history and wine making expertise across Hungary and sampling several excellent wines from various regions. Have enjoyed this experience twice and very likely to repeat for a third time when I next return to visit Budapest.

Excellent- highly recommend

Great!

Cole_M, Jan 2026

Thomas, sorry about the spelling of your name was a great wine expert. He taught us so much about Hungarian wines. I loved this experience. It’s more couples that go to this, but you can definitely do it solo

Wonderful Time

Denise_K, Dec 2025

Be prepared to have a good tine....meet people from all over the world....exchange different views on the wines you ate tasting.

Excellent

LeighAshley_B, Oct 2025

It was very informative and friendly, amazing experience! Tasted many wines red and white with generous pours.

Fun and tasty evening activity

Hayley_W, Oct 2025

This was a fun start to a Saturday evening out. I appreciate that the groups are small. As a solo traveler it made it very easy to chat with the other guests. The sommelier, Bolasz, was very knowledgeable but did not over complicate the tasting at all. The cellar setting is really nice. The charcuterie pairing was delicious as well! It’s a fun couple of hours, tasting delicious Hungarian wine, and making new friends.

They upgraded me for free...

Williams_W, Sep 2025

They upgraded me for free to the deluxe experience courtesy of two of people booking that option, so that was very nice of them! Overall, informative and enjoyable, great quality wines and food, plus the sommelier resisted the urge to talk about aromas and flavours and stuck to the facts.

This is a must!

CYNTHIA_B, Sep 2025

This was a wonderful experience! The cheese and charcuterie was delicious. Met some fabulous new people and now friends.

A night to savour

Wonderful evening, great company, superb wines and an insight into Hungarian cheeses and charcuterie. All this alongside exceptional knowledge imparted in a friendly manner, no wine snobbery here! Would wholeheartedly highly recommend.

Best part of my trip!

Lindsay_G, Oct 2024

Amazing , a great learning experience for Hungarian wine in a fun and unpretentious environment. The wines were amazing

Worth every penny and much more!

Anna_H, Oct 2024

Before anything else, visit it! You will not regret it. Perfect ambience, absolutely lovely people and an experience to remember. During our visit to Budapest, we visited Taste Hungary twice! We initially went for a wine tasting, which Tomas led so beautifully that me and my partner, who go to wine tastings monthly, knew we wanted to come again immediately. Tomas presented a selection of beautiful and delicious wines, all from tiny Hungarian producers, which gave us the opportunity to try wines and grapes we would never have otherwise, and that was such a beautiful night. This, however, pales in comparison to our next experience with them. The following night we went to the Chef’s Table experience, which happens every Friday and is a 6 course dinner with 7 wine pairings. Where do I start? The Chef prepares the food mostly in front of you and the food was nothing less than magical. Once more, locally sourced from small producers and you can taste the freshness of all the dishes. It feels like being part of a top chef’s experiment, and it could not been better. The wine pairings went so well together other guests gasped when it was revealed which dish would be served with the wine, exclaiming how perfect it would go together. I can’t recommend this experience enough, it is worth every penny and more. (Plus, they have a store with all the beautiful wines, bring an extra suitcase)

Great night!

James_D, Sep 2024

A fantastic evening. 8 wines in total and two farmer boards (one for the white wines another for the red wines) with high quality cheeses and meats. The wines are excellent and the host is a passionate sommelier. A must do when in Hungary, a country that flies under the radar with wines but holds it own against France, Spain, Italy and Australia at a fraction of the price. I

Delicious

Anna_J, Aug 2024

So much fun! My husband and I are not wine connoisseurs, but decided to try some wine while in Budapest. The food was so delicious and the wine was outstanding. I appreciated the history and culture presented.

Delicious wine and charcuterie!

Christine_A, Jul 2024

Loved getting to taste and learn about so many wines, and the charcuterie was delicious too! Really appreciated the different pairings for red and white wines. Had a great time!

What a revelation of quality wine!

Adrian_S, May 2024

We were really surprised at the quality and variety of the tasting. From a glass of bubbly to start, three whites, three reds and a sweet Tokay to finish they all had something interesting to offer. The guide was very well informed and helped bring a relaxed atmosphere to the room. Mixed audience from Germany, UK and USA. The cheese and cured meats were also of excellent quality and it helped to be able to compare the wines with them.

Wine in the afternoon

sandy42bb, May 2024

This tour was nice and quick. I was a little bummed when they had to move me to a earlier time but it works out. The guide was nice, the food was delicious and the wine was eclectic.

Explore wines from Hungary

Carolyn_C, Apr 2024

We had a wonderful time. The wines we tasted gave us a great introduction to the wine being produced in Hungary. We were very surprised at the quality of the wines! The instructor was very knowledgeable and personable. I would recommend this tour to anyone that loves exploring wines from other regions.

John is fun, genuine, and he knows his wines! It was professional, and we also had time to interact, talk to eachother and just enjoy the food and drink the wine.

Highlight of my Budapest trip
