Description

Join us to experience the Hungarian wine region of Eger, and we’ll take you to some stunningly beautiful places with unique wines, and talented winemakers. We’ll visit the production areas, walk around the vineyards, and visit the aging cellars (from 500-year-old ancient hand-carved ones to the ultra-modern ones). 

The tour also includes a platter of local cheese or charcuterie with one of the tastings and a traditional lunch, either homemade at the winery or at the winery-owned restaurant, where you can observe how the regional food harmonizes with the wines produced there.

Eger is Hungary’s northernmost red-wine-producing region, best known for its signature wine Egri Bikaver (“Bull’s Blood”). This traditional blend is taken seriously by local Winemakers that have improved dramatically over time compared to the Bikaver’s of the past shipped to the West in the Communist era of mass-produced wines.

On this wine tour in Eger, you’ll be able to taste different varieties of Bikaver in addition to Eger’s latest white blend, known as Egri Csillag. It will also be a chance to taste many of the single varietal wines that make up Bikavér, such as Kékfrankos, Pinot Noir, Portugieser, Merlot, and Kadarka. While Eger is most well-known in the red category, it also makes excellent white wines from local varieties like Leanyka, Kiralyleanyka, Olaszrizling and Tramini.
