Badacsony Wine District
With the Wine Triathlon, you can now get even more active in tasting the iconic variety of the wine district! The winemakers will personally pour the wine at participating wineries and, of course, tell you all about it. Not only about the wines, but also about their history, family, trade secrets and pride. In total, you can taste eighteen Olaszrizlings from nine wineries during the weekend. You can do this individually from Friday afternoon to Sunday, or if you buy a pass on Saturday, you can take a free shuttle service to explore the nine cellars!
MANDATORY OPENING HOURS OF PARTICIPATING CELLARS:
Friday 14:00-20:00
Saturday 10:00-20:00 (Saturday shuttle service, but only for passholders!)
Sunday 10:00-16:00
