When visiting Hungary, I think every wine lover should know about the Tokaj, Eger, and Villány regions. However, as a fan of white wine, Tokaj is my favorite.
Within this region lies the town of the same name, which is about two and a half hours east of Budapest.
Although the town’s World Heritage Wine Museum is on many travelers’ to-do lists, I recommend visiting a family-run cellar instead. In my experience, the owners often have a wealth of knowledge about the region and its wines, as many families have been living here for generations.
Tokaj is also the birthplace of Tokaji Aszú, a sweet white wine that I think every traveler should taste. I also suggest trying different cuvées, too, which are blended wines.
