"Sparkling wine has a long history in our region and our family has a special fondness for bubblies. The lighter category is represented by our rosé, white and red semi-sparkling wines called Kék, Zöld and Bordó. They are the summer hits of the range. With Bujdosó our méthode traditionelle sparkling wine the aim is to marry elegance and the fruity style of south Balaton."

Büttner WineryWe do not know compromises in the creation of our items. We take the international standard as a basis, thus placing great emphasis on the fruit-centric nature of our wines being in perfect harmony with the unique microclimate and soil characteristics.

Éliás BirtokBadacsony is the perfect harmony for us. To be here and to wish to be here is a great thing. Steep hillsides, beautiful vineyards, the beautiful colors of the water and the fine wines make perfect harmony. Our aim is to create unique but still characteristic Badacsony wines. Beside traditional varieties, like Olaszriziling and Pinot Gris, we also experiment with international varieties.

Feind PincészetIn 1995 Lajos Feind founded our winery when he bought 14 hectares of grapes close to the Balaton. This is where the viticulture began, leading it in the direction of the winery. Within 20 years he expanded to 130 hectares of vineyards. Most of these can be found in Öreg-hegy in Balatonfőkajár, but also in Balatonvilágos, Balatonaliga and Balatonfüred, so all of the plantations are part of the Balatonfüred-Csopak wine region.

Garamvári SzőlőbirtokBe it champagne or wine, we are maximalists. The profession and the passion for innovation have been shared by us for generations. From the grapes of our estate in Balatonlelle, we make a drink that shows the juiciest side of the given variety. We are passionate about each fragrant, fruity bottle.

Gilvesy WineryMount Saint George (Szent György-Hegy) is an ancient and little known volcanic butte in Europe’s Pannon basin. Our estate is found here, just a few kilometers north of Lake Balaton, its roots originating in the 17th century. Mount Saint George is cloaked with vineyards, both old vines and more recenting plantings, ours and many others being cultivated organically. With our vineyards and wine culture, our goal is to authentically preserve and express the unique character of the mountain in our wines.

Istvándy BirtokThe Istvándy family committed itself to the renewal of wine culture, based on the traditions handed down over generations and the practical experience of two centuries. Creative, creative winemaking, consistent professional work and outstanding standards without compromise characterize the operation of our winery. For us, greatness does not lie in volume, but in quality, and we are convinced that creating something valuable and unique can only be done based on well-founded, in-depth expertise, with openness and creativity. We found the right raw material for this in the noble and special Kéknyelű.

Kern PincészetKern Winery was founded in 2012 with the aim of creating a connection between the past and future of wine production, combining tradition with nature and technology. Our plan is to “revive” traditional, almost forgotten grape varieties using the most modern and gentle procedures. We bought our first areas in Balatonszőlős (Öreghegy, Penke-dűlő), followed by the other plantations in Tokaj-Hegyalja (Tarcal-Mandulás-vineyard, Szegi, Bakonyi) with Tarcal estate center. We currently farm on 10 hectares (5 ha Lake Balaton, 5 ha Tokaj-Hegyalja).

We love champagne! Hence the family anecdote that ultimately led to the establishment of the winery. We’ve mentioned a lot that if we already consume so much champagne, it might be more rewarding to make our own, to the delight of both ourselves and our friends.

Laposa BirtokOur family mainly cultivates traditional grape varieties, which are situated in the best-suited sites of the surrounding volcanic buttes. It is our mission to introduce Badacsony and the Badacsony Wine Region to the world. We set our heart on building a local community, creating inheritable values and timeless investments and developing a long-term approach - even from an economical point of view.

Pálffy PinceOur vineyard and winery are based on centuries-old family generations, where grape cultivation and winemaking are passed down from father to son. Our vineyards are located in the Káli basin, Köveskál on the southern slopes of the volcanic Fekete-hegy in the vineyards of Kishegy, Cserekút, Kisgyepű and Csákvölgy. On the current 16 ha area, we grow Italian Riesling, Szürkebarát, Tramini, Furmint, Juhfark, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Syrah grapes. Our goal is for the wines of the Káli basin, once supplied to our Árpád house kings, to be on the table of quality wine consumers again, to become known and loved.

Szászi BirtokBasically, we make champagne because we love it. For us, good sparkling wine is somewhere between Champagne and Prosecco. It is not only about freshness and fruitiness, like Prosecco, but it is not dominated by the buttery, bready taste of Champagne. Our goal is to find a middle ground between the two styles when making champagne, and to be able to present an elegant, unique taste. Even though the microclimate of Szent György-hegy is not the most ideal for the production of champagne base, fortunately our goal is not to make a huge amount of champagne, so we can harvest as many high-quality grapes on the 22 hectares every year, which are perfect for base wine.

Zelna BorászatThe story of our winery started in 2014 with a few hectares and some great wines in Balatonfüred. For today we have reached the final size and structure of our estate, we know the varieties, wines and blends we want to make.
