Etyek Wine Region Private Tour

This Budapest day trip visits the small wine making village of Etyek, located about 18 miles (29km) west of Budapest. Sometimes called the Hungarian Napa Valley, Etyek sits on limestone soil that produces crisp, fresh white wines and is best known today as Hungary's sparkling wine region.

During your visit to Etyek you visit a local winery and have the chance to sample up to 5 different white or sparkling wines, accompanied by snacks made from local produce. Wine growing in the Buda area dates back to the 18th century. The Buda-Etyek region's cool air helps produce its fresh, elegant white wines, and the traditional method sparkling wines made here have become one of the region's real success stories. Together your guide and the winemakers walk you through the history of the region as you work through your tastings.

At the end of this Budapest day trip you are brought back to your hotel or Danube river cruise ship.

I contacted Ken well in advance of the trip for a work group celebrating a big anniversary. The communication was amazing. The entire trip was flawless and the guides were professional, on time and so incredibly knowledgeable of the particular areas. Their English was perfect and we were all amazed at their level of knowledge. They were always ready to make recommendations for lunch and snacks as well as tips and tricks.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!
