We did the full day private wine tour during our long weekend in Budapest at Christmas time. The drive takes around 1.5 hours from Budapest. Despite the cold weather we thoroughly enjoyed our trip through the countryside to Lake Balaton, the lunch at a wonderful local restaurant and the beautiful winery. Our guide Attila was a very informative with a refreshing sense of humour. It was a welcome break from city sights!
This was a perfect daytrip during our stay in Budapest. The lake Balaton area is a must, only a 1.5 hours long journey from Budapest. Our guide, Susan made her best to costumize the day according to our needs. We learned a lot about the Hungarian history and wine. The view was amazing from the restaurant during lunch time. Highly recommended.
We had a great day with Attila! He was incredibly knowledgeable about...well, just about everything! It was a very hot day (40 C) and traffic was chaos leaving from and returning to Budapest, but he did not skip a beat. We learned so much, tasted (and purchased) some wonderful wine, enjoyed the local fish, and took lots of pictures. Lake Balaton is quite unique and worth visiting.
