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.
- Gombos-hegyi Cellars - Tokaj-Hegyalja has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002. Both the landscape and the culture and environment established by the cellars are under protection. The hobbit-like rows of cellars dug into the tufa and under the mountains have become symbols of the world heritage environment and tempt us into the more hidden corners of the region
