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. Groups of more than 16 people are kindly asked to book min. 3 days in advance. More information: Faust Wine Cellar Booking for Groups.

Do you have any reservations available January 27-29?
Dear Ryan,
thank you for your inquiry.
Faust Wine Cellar will be closed between Jan 24 and Feb 9.
Let me please recommend you another wine tasting program for these days: Budapest Wine Tasting Cruise: http://budapestrivercruise.com/wine-cruise-budapest
Hi, is it possible to book for February the 11th?
Dear Matt,
yes, if the date is available for booking in the calendar of the booking form, you can feel free to make your reservation.
Hello We were wondering if it’s at all possible to book less than three days ahead? We are on our way into Budapest but have to leave Sunday June 18. If there is any availability for four people anytime from June 15-17 we would be very interested. Thank you for your time.

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?
Book a Wine Tasting Cruise on the following link:

I hope I could be of help.
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,
thank you for your comment.
I am afraid, due to the popularity of the program, reservations need to bemade at least 3 days prior.
Why not try the Wine Tasting Cruise insted?
