Join guide Miki for a small-group trip from central Budapest to Páty, a wine village about 20 to 30 minutes away. Visit one or two distinctive old cellars, taste at least four wines at each, meet local producers and share a plate of regional meats and cheeses. The three-hour tour offers an easy way to learn about Hungarian wine beyond the city.

“Our tour and tasting with Miki was one of the highlights of our trip to Budapest. We had a small group of 6 people which was perfect. The tour was intimate and focused and we enjoyed the time we spent in Paty. Miki was very knowledgable about the wines and the village. All of the wines we tasted were very good but we thought the rose was exceptional and we are not rose drinkers! It was a pleasure meeting Miki and his father in law who drive us to wine country. I highly recommend this tour (or any tour) with Miki, it was an amazing experience.”
