Villány: Hungary’s Red Wine Capital
Located near the southern border, the Villány wine region is known for its full-bodied reds and long-standing winemaking traditions. With its Mediterranean climate and volcanic soils, this region produces some of Hungary’s finest cabernet franc, merlot and portugieser. A wine tasting tour from Budapest to Villány is a perfect escape for those who want to explore a more rustic and intense side of Hungarian winemaking.
Private Wine Tastings in Villány and Beyond
This private wine tour is designed around your group’s preferences. Visit 2–3 top-rated wineries in Villány, stroll through historic cellars, and taste a selection of aged reds and fresh rosés. Optional stops in Palkonya, Kisharsány, or Nagyharsány allow you to explore lesser-known gems where passionate winemakers welcome guests with open arms – and full glasses.

Palkonya, Kisharsány and the Villány Hills

These off-the-beaten-path locations provide a rich cultural and gastronomic backdrop to your wine country tour.
Wine, Food, and Southern Charm
Beyond wine, many of the wineries offer hearty meals made with local ingredients. Taste smoked sausages, aged cheeses or traditional Hungarian dishes alongside your wine. Whether you’re dining in a rustic cellar or enjoying a terrace lunch with a vineyard view, the region’s charm is undeniable.
