Here’s an overview of your tour

Hungarian wine might just be one of Europe’s best-kept secrets — and this tasting walk is your invitation to dive in. Join your local host for a 2.5-hour private experience that takes you to two or three handpicked spots in central Budapest, each offering a new flavor, a new story, and a warm local welcome.

You’ll taste 3 different wines from some of Hungary’s most interesting wine regions — think mineral-rich whites, elegant reds, or even a sweet Tokaji if you like to end on a golden note. Each wine is paired with a traditional or modern Hungarian bite that complements the flavor — from artisan cheese or cured meats to savory spreads or seasonal specialties.

Whether you’re a wine lover or just curious to taste your way through Hungary’s rich culinary heritage, this is a relaxed and tasty way to explore the local scene — one sip at a time.

The local hosts are natural storytellers, each with a different background ranging from local cuisine to city lifestyle. They can't wait to share some of their unique stories and personal anecdotes with you! Feel like changing the route a bit? No problem, the hosts will be happy to personalize the tour to your wishes and make their Budapest, your Budapest!

Your itinerary

  • Meeting point

    In front of the Light Art Museum
  • First Stop: a Local Wine Bar

    Start your tasting adventure in a cozy wine bar where you’ll try your first Hungarian wine — maybe a crisp white from the volcanic hills of Somló — paired with a light, locally made cheese and fresh bread.
  • Stroll through the Lively Streets

    Follow your host through one of Budapests vibrant district Belvoros — and hear local insights and cultural stories along the way
  • Delicious Bites

    Your local host has paired each glass of wine with a bite typical of the city for a perfect match made in heaven and will explain why these pairings are some of the locals’ favorites
  • Second Tasting Stop

    At your next stop, sip a smooth Hungarian red like a Bikavér or Kékfrankos. This time, it’s paired with a heartier bite — maybe a slice of paprika-spiced sausage or a modern take on a traditional spread.
  • Final Cheers

    Wrap up the experience with your final tasting: something bold, sweet, or a surprise pick based on your preferences. Enjoy it with a sweet or savory Hungarian treat before parting ways — with wine notes, food memories, and local recommendations in hand.
I have a teen daughter with us - is it possible to plan a drinks and bites tour with her?
