Overview
Over the years, the name of the oldest Hungarian wine region has become synonymous with the name of its most famous product: the Tokaji Aszú. A dessert wine that has been loved and consumed by European royalty for centuries is also known as the king of wines and wine of kings.
The local winemakers are doing their very best preserving this invaluable knowledge and are constantly at work to supply a growing need for the aszú. Bear with us on this day trip and find out how the winemakers of Tokaj still use an ancient technique to gather the shriveled wine grapes that are essential for making this divine nectar.
Tokaj, however, produces other wines as well that should be just as famous as the aszú and the locally made charcuterie delicacies will also make you fall in love with this region.
Being only a couple of hours from Budapest, Tokaj offers a great opportunity to leave the city behind for a day and try the most famous Hungarian wines right where they are made.

Tokaj wine region or Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region is a historical wine region located in northeastern Hungary and southeastern Slovakia. It is also one of the seven larger wine regions of Hungary . Hegyalja means "foothills" in Hungarian, and this was the original name of the region.
The region consists of 28 named villages and 11,149 hectares of classified vineyards, of which an estimated 5,500 are currently planted. Tokaj has been declared a World Heritage Site in 2002 under the name Tokaj Wine Region Historic Cultural Landscape. However, its fame long predated this distinction because it is the origin of Tokaji aszú wine, the world's oldest botrytized wine. -
