Buda Castle Buda Castle, Budapest
Enjoy a wide selection of the best Hungarian wines on a guided tasting session in Faust Wine Cellar, in the Buda Castle District.
Faust Wine Cellar is located in a historical underground wine cellar in the Buda Castle District. The stairs are leading down from the remains of a 13th century Dominican Cloister, ending at the cellar which is part of the huge labyrinth system underneath the Caste Hill, carved in the middle ages as an escape route.
This medieval atmosphere is a perfect match for tasting delicious beverages, while learning about the wine regions and main wineries of Hungary. Your host will be the owner of the Cellar, who is a knowledgeable wine expert and sommelier – he will introduce you to the world of Hungarian specialties in English language.
Individual guests and groups are welcome as well, however advance table reservation is highly recommended due to the size of the cellar.

Hello Ashlay,
thank you for your comment.
I am afraid, your requested program is already full house until 18 June.
Why not choose a Wine Tasting Cruise instead for the weekend?

I and my husband have just arrived in Budapest. Is there any chance we can attend a wine tasting tomorrow afternoon? We will be leaving on a tour on Monday. We both love wine and would love to sample your selection. Fingers crossed… Thank you.
Hello Kathryn,

Hello Adam,
thank you for your comment.
Booking for 30 June is not possible, as the tours are already fully booked.
The first available date is 2 July.

Should 30 June would be the preferred date for you, why not try the popular 7pm Wine Tasting Cruise with live Gypsy Music?
