Meet a sommelier at Taste Hungary’s vaulted 19th-century cellar for five generous Hungarian wines, four cheeses, four cured meats, artisan bread, and mineral water. Guides such as Sam, Thomas, Tomasz, and Matthew explain grapes, regions, soil, and Hungary’s food traditions during this relaxed 90-minute tasting.
“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!”
Meet at Taste Hungary’s Tasting Table Cellar for a two-hour, English-language tasting led by a sommelier such as Tomas or Bolasz. You’ll sample eight Hungarian wines, from sparkling wine to sweet Tokaj, with local cheese, charcuterie, and light pairings.

See Budapest’s main sights and quieter corners from a private tuk tuk, with stops at Gellért Hill, Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, Parliament, and more. Your English-speaking guide can adjust the route, and the tour ends with Hungarian wine and a cheese platter at DiVino.
“A fun experience with a well informed guide. He could not have been nicer. As to where we went...? Sometimes where other means of transport were not allowed.....e.g.The Citadel. Great fun....even if a little bit bumpy.”
Pick a dairy, a cellar, a boat or a bench with a bowl of curd on it.
