This was an excellent introduction to Hungarian wines and the cheese and meats to go with them. Thomas made it a fun experience and I would throughly recomend it to everybody.

The sommelier knew the wines and they were paired nicely with the charcuterie board. He spent time talking about the wines, then allowed us 15 minutes to enjoy the wine and food.
It was a pleasant experience with good wine.

Great setting for a tasting. Guide did a great job with the wines and explaining things. The charcuterie provided, while of great quality, was a bit lacking in quantity, especially at this price point.
John_M, Oct 2025
Extremely enjoyable experience in a character-filled cellar in the heart of Budapest.
Thomas led the group on an informative journey detailing the history of viticulture in Hungary. The wines presented were delicious and varied, truly highlighting the different varietals and flavor profiles available from Hungarian producers. The charcuterie and cheeses accompanying the wines were authentic products from local artisanal farms, and paired wonderfully with the wines.
Definitely recommend investing in this experience, and will be ordering wines again and again for delivery to the US!

Wonderful Hungarian wine and cheese tasting by Sam. We truly enjoyed his knowledge of Hungary’s historic times with wine. Sampled several wines and Hungarian foods. Highly recommend.
Dawn_J, Jul 2025
We attended the 3 pm tasting with 5 wines. It was all held in English. Each wine was paired with meat and cheese. The sommelier was knowledgeable about Hungarian wines and the history and evolution of the grapes and their regions. We met people from UK, Poland, and US. The atmosphere was festive. We enjoyed the wines more than we expected to, and left feeling like we knew a little more about Hungry.
