Fantastic knowledgable guide, great wines and delicious lunch. Lovely to see the countryside and fun group
Perfect evening. Great tour guide. Delicious wine and scrumptious food! The atmosphere was perfect and our hosts were knowledgeable and engaging. We learned a lot about the local wines and the region
Great tour involving 3 very different wineries. Wines were all very good. Dinner was just ok but overall a great time.
Our guide was amazing, and knowledgable. We visited 2 wineries and had a delicious traditional meal. It was a great memory for our trip.
Overall a great trip. Julianna was a great host, the 3 wineries, country side views, dinner and small party size made it a very pleasant experience. Only negative was the van, AC did not work very well on a hot day.
Fantastic experience! Our guide Peter was great with wine knowledge and facts about Hungary, and is an all around great guy. 3 excellent wineries, and the dinner at last winery Buzal Morocza was amazing, as were the wines and the wine/dinner server. Nadas Bormohely winery had great variety of delicious wines, and Ester the owner was a wealth of knowledge and is an extremely warm and welcoming person. Optimus winery had some unique and very tasty white wines and the owner is really nice. I highly recommend this tour, and I hope to return to do it again some day.
Better than described and expected. Well planned and comfortable. Excellent staff interaction, safe drivers and well vetted winery/farm. The staff, winery owners and fellow guests were friendly and made for a great experience! More wine given than expected and more than you can actually drink! Food was very ggod!
A really memorable trip visiting two family owned wineries and tasting some great wines in fantastic settings. The lunch was also delicious, being home cooked and made with love. It was very hearty!
Very enjoyable tour with a great guide. We visited two small vineyards, tasted several good wines and enjoyed a lovely lunch as well. Good day.
Highly recommend. Dinner/evening experience was great, Susan was a fantastic guide and driver. Small group, we ended up with 8 people. Visited 3 different wineries with a home cooked, forest to table meal and wine pairing at the end. Home cooked wild boar meat stew, home made Boar sausage and other dishes were fantastic. They also accommodated gluten, lactose and vegan food allergies. The grounds and ambiance at this last stop were fabulous, relaxed and friendly. They have 4 guest rooms you can stay at and do private events too. Highly recommend if you want to learn about Hungarian wines, wine making, taste lots of wines in a friendly environment. All in an afternoon, near by from Budapest, but feels like a totally different world.
