Highlights

The northern shore of Lake Balaton is one of the most unique landscapes of Hungary. Along this tour we would like to show you the less touristy, off-the-beaten-path treasures of the region. Since for both of us working at Wine it Up this region is a second home, you can trust us on picking the best of it for you to show.

  3. We enter the village of Tihany and its historic center, the tiny cute streets packed with thatched roofed houses. On the top of the hill we visit the magnificent abbey and its small museum. Lastly, all we have to do is sit back, we will have some coffee and fine cakes on one of the most panoramic terraces of lake Balaton. Here we make sure you have some time remained for some shopping, too.

  4. During our walk through the UNESCO world heritage listed village, we will have a sneak peak into the distillery, where all the locally grown lavender starts his journey towards becoming small-scale scented cosmetics.

  5. Just a few minutes drive away Csopak, which is located on a pretty hill, has a lovely wine scene with a lot of colourful events and adorable venues. We will stop by one of them to taste some great wines from the local vineyards.

  6. This is one of our personal favourites. This charming hill patched with family-run wineries is a remnant of a volcano, which is reflected in the character of its wines. Here we will visit two of the traditional wine-producing families and have a delicious lunch on one of heir beautiful terraces accompanied by their best wines.

    2 h

  7. On our way back to Budapest we would love to show you some spectacular micro-environments of the Balaton Uplands.

About Budapest

Budapest joins hilly Buda and flat Pest across the Danube, a grand capital of thermal baths, riverside palaces and lively ruin bars.

On the Buda side, Castle Hill holds Buda Castle, the Matthias Church and the white turrets of Fishermen's Bastion, all looking down on the river. The Chain Bridge crosses to Pest, where the Hungarian Parliament Building stretches along the bank and St Stephen's Basilica rises a few streets inland. Gellért Hill and its Citadella give the widest views.

Top-ranked sights in Budapest: House of Parliament (Országház), Buda Castle (Budai Vár), Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lanchid) .
