Wine, wine festival

 

The tradition of wine-growing and viniculture goes back to 2000 years in Balatongyörök. The wine cellars and press houses on the southern slopes (Becehegy and Felső hegy) have preserved their original exterior. Wine-lovers can take part in an organised tour to taste the wines of the region including Olaszrizling, Chardonnay, Szürkebarát, Cserszegi fűszeres, Irsai Olivér and Rizling – szilváni. Besides quality wines, there are several festivals and gastronomic events awaiting visitors from early spring to late autumn. Amongst others, one can take part in Balatongyörök Wine Festival, Convivial Wine Song Festival and Györök Wine Harvest
