Raise a glass to Hungarian wine

Almost all the buildings have cellars underneath and the longest is 40 metres and runs under the main square.

Entrance into the Budapest International Wine Festival costs around £8 per person for a day ticket that allows multi entries on the same day, plus entrance to the Vintage Throng. The price includes a tasting glass, glass bearing bag and two tasting tickets plus entrance to a few of the museums that are close to Buda Castle. Transport via the ‘wine boat' or ‘wine bus' is not included in the ticket price.
