The Buda Castle Beer Festival (Budavari Sorfesztival) is one of the top festivals in Budapest, and not only for beer and craft beer lovers.

Dear Sir or Madam,
in our german travel magazine ab-in-den-urlaub.de, a commercial product with editorial content, edition september we intend to publish an article about famous wine festivals. One of the events we want to introduce to our readers shall be the International Wine Festival in Budapest, which takes place at Buda Castle. To illustrate the article we need some expressive images of the festival – of guests drinking wine, wine tastings, specialities, images to show the atmosphere of the festival and others. So I would like to ask you if you could provide us with some material of this topic in high resolution (300 dpi). That would be wonderful because we really would like to show our readers the International Wine Festival at Buda Castle, Budapest as a very attractive holiday destination in the weeks of vintage. Are we authorized then to use the images for free – for print and for the online version of our magazine? Are there any specifications concerning the photo credits?
I’m looking forward to your answer.
With best regards,
Ute Rosner

Dear Ute, we are sending you the direct contact of the Budapest Wine Festival organizers. Hope they will provide the press photos you need for your magazine. Thank you for recommending this beautiful festival.
Hi,
The Buda Castle beer festival looks like an excellent event.
Could you please tell me what the dates are for the festival in 2014.
Kind regards
James
Hello James, sorry that the answer was not immediate: there is only planned date yet for the 2014 Beer Festival in Buda Castle Budapest. The planned date is mid June (as usual) June 12 – 15, 2014. The Hungarian beer festival organizers reserve the right to change the date, so it is best to check in May when the final date will be. We will also publish its final date then. Further news (in Hungarian) are available on the Facebook page of the beer fest: https://www.facebook.com/budavarisorfesztival
gday there, is booking essential for this festival?
Hello Mike, no, booking for the Buda Castle Beer Festival is not essential, but online booking gives a certain advantage and speed when it comes to standing in queues for tickets. You can save time and get to the beer taps faster.
Hi

Any updates on the venue and date for 2017?
Dear Per,
according to the organizers, the 2016 Beer Festival was the last one held in the Buda Castle. They might find a new venue for the next year, but unfortunately there are still no news about it. Thank you for your understanding.
Aww, that’s a real shame. It was by far the best venue I’ve ever experienced. Well, thank you for the prompt answer and the fantastic location!
