- St Teresa Chapel - Upon departing the town of Tokaj, the first and perhaps most stunning stop on the tasting journey is the renowned Teresia Chapel (Terézia Kápolna) located in the village of Tarcal. This elegant, white 18th-century building, commissioned in honor of Empress Maria Theresa, stands proudly atop a hill (Terézia-domb). Its elevated position is significant, as it is surrounded by vineyards nestled among the prestigious, sunlit First Growth slopes of the Mézesmály (‘Honey Pot’) vineyard. From this prime location, visitors are treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire Tokaj-Hegyalja landscape. This view provides an essential geographical lesson, showcasing the precise conditions—the soil and river-fed humidity—that enable the noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) to thrive and produce the world-famous 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 commenced at Disznókő Winery, a First Growth estate since 1732, now under the ownership of the esteemed AXA Millésimes. Disznókő is renowned for its modern, pure, and balanced style of Tokaji Aszú. The visit began with a guided walk through the expansive, contiguous vineyards—a UNESCO site spanning 150 hectares of volcanic and clay soil, ideal for noble rot. The tour continued with a visit to the gravity-flow production facility, designed by Dezső Ekler. Next, visitors descended 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 showcased 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 referred to as the “Athens of the Bodrog.” Its history is marked 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 authentic local cuisine with a panoramic view of the Rákóczi Castle. The main attraction 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 generous 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 enthusiasts: 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 origin of this “Wine of Kings.” Legend has it 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 delayed the harvest due to the threat of invading Turkish armies. The postponed, shriveled grapes were affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), resulting in an exceptional, intensely sweet wine—a fortunate accident that transformed the world of wine forever. The estate’s ongoing commitment to quality ensures this liquid gold remains unmatched. During the tour, visitors will explore the winery itself, visit the wine cellars, and enjoy a wine tasting on site.
