In just 5-10 minutes, explore Hungary’s wine identity through a guided pop-up tasting with Péter Blazsovszky, Michelin-starred sommelier and gastro & wine expert of Wines of Hungary. Tokaji Aszú, Furmint, Olaszrizling, and Kékfrankos – concise, engaging and to the point.
No appointment. No sitting. Just a quick pour and a short story. Each day, 3-4 fixed pop-up tastings will be held, each dedicated to one of four key themes: Sweet Tokaj, Dry Furmint, Olaszrizling and Kékfrankos.
In addition to these scheduled sessions, our team will be happy to provide informal introductions to the wines of the Tasting Zone at the Wines of Hungary counter upon request. Sparkling wines will also be presented throughout the day.
We reveal the day’s exact pop-up schedule on Instagram every morning at 09:00. Follow us to stay ahead.
