- St Teresa Chapel - Upon departing the town of Tokaj, the first and perhaps most remarkable stop on the tasting journey is the iconic Teresia Chapel (Terézia Kápolna) in the village of Tarcal. This elegant, white 18th-century structure, commissioned in honor of Empress Maria Theresa, is majestically perched atop a hill (Terézia-domb). Its elevated position is significant, surrounded by vineyards and nestled among the esteemed, sunlit First Growth slopes of the Mézesmály (‘Honey Pot’) vineyard. From this privileged vantage point, visitors are treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire Tokaj-Hegyalja landscape. This vista offers a vital geographical lesson, revealing the precise conditions—the soil and river-fed humidity—that allow the noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) to thrive and produce the world-renowned Tokaji Aszú. Take a moment to absorb this history and atmosphere before continuing the journey into the cellars.

Disznoko - Disznókő: Tokaj’s Golden Start
The Tokaj wine journey begins at Disznókő Winery, a First Growth estate since 1732, now owned by the renowned AXA Millésimes. Disznókő is celebrated for its modern, pure, and balanced style of Tokaji Aszú. The visit starts with a guided walk through the vast, contiguous vineyards—a UNESCO site covering 150 hectares of volcanic and clay soil, known to be an ideal location for noble rot. The tour continues through the gravity-flow production facility, designed by Dezső Ekler. Next, visitors descend into the historic underground cellar, where the wines mature in Hungarian oak, developing complexity and elegance. The highlight is the exclusive guided wine tasting featuring six samples. This expert session showcases the estate’s range, from their mineral-driven dry wines to the majestic, concentrated sweet wines. - Vár Vendéglő Panzió - For a refreshing break after the morning’s tasting, the journey continues to Sárospatak, a historic town on the Bodrog River often called the “Athens of the Bodrog.” Its history is defined by the imposing Rákóczi Castle and the legendary Reformed College, one of Hungary’s most significant educational institutions, founded in 1531. The lunch stop is at a traditional Hungarian establishment offering genuine local cuisine with a panoramic view of the Rákóczi Castle. The main event for lunch is a restorative bowl of Halászlé (Fisherman’s Soup), one of Hungary’s most famous national dishes. This intensely flavored, hot, and spicy soup is characterized by its brilliant red color, derived from large amounts of authentic Hungarian paprika. Traditionally, Halászlé is prepared with mixed river fish, primarily carp, and cooked in a small kettle over an open fire. It’s a hearty, iconic dish, perfect to enjoy with fresh white bread before continuing the journey.
- Tokaj Oremus Pinceszet - The next stop is a true pilgrimage for wine lovers: Tokaj-Oremus Winery in the village of Tolcsva. This historic estate, now owned by Spain’s iconic Vega Sicilia, continues centuries of tradition within its unique cellars, some of which date back to the 13th century. Visitors will sample the noble sweet wines, most notably the legendary Tokaji Aszú. Oremus is directly linked to the very birth of this “Wine of Kings.” Legend holds that the first Aszú wine was produced from grapes harvested from the vineyard of the same name - OREMUS (now owned by the winery). In 1650, the chief vintner postponed the harvest due to the threat of invading Turkish armies. The delayed, shriveled grapes were affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), resulting in an exceptional, intensely sweet wine—a fortunate accident that changed the world of wine forever. The estate’s continued commitment to quality ensures this liquid gold remains unparalleled. During the tour, visitors will explore the winery itself, visit the wine cellars, and enjoy a wine tasting on site.
- Gombos-hegyi Cellars - The Gomboshegy cellar row is located on the southern side of Hercegkút, right at the entrance to the village from the main road 37. From the cellar row, there is a stunning panorama of Hercegkút and the peaks of the Zemplén Mountains, and even the Kőporos cellar row at the other end of the village is beautifully visible. In 2002, when the Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, the Gomboshegy cellar row—just like Kőporos—was specifically mentioned. In Gomboshegy, the beautifully preserved, triangular-gabled cellars line up in four neat rows along the hillside. The cellars are generally 10 to 40 meters long. The cellars, dug into rhyolite tuff, extend into the earth in one, two, or three branches. Their temperature is usually between 9 and 12 degrees Celsius, with high humidity, which provides the perfect environment for aging and storing Tokaj wines.
