Going out

Start getting to know Hungarian wine (or further your knowledge by a few glasses) with the first in a series of Hungarian wine workshops with TasteHungary, the bespoke culinary tour company.  

This on-going English-language lineup of monthly interactive wine classes on Hungarian wine themes is appropriate for wine beginners as well as experienced tasters who would like to grow their knowledge of wine, learn about the Hungarian wine regions (including their distinct terroirs, grape varietals, and winemaking methods), and be able to better understand Hungary’s place in the winemaking world. The first event, March 25th, is called Hungarian Sparklers, an eight-wine tasting of sparkling wines. The price, 6,000 HUF per person, includes instruction by wine wizard László Bálint, eight sparkling wines, light bites from the Első Pesti Rétes Ház, and mineral water. And there’s a BONUS! Participants will receive an Első Pesti Rétesház card which will entitle them to a 20% discount if they dine before or after the event, and a 10% discount at all other times. Spaces are limited.
