Overview
Spend a magical day in the Hungarian countryside: visit the beautiful Somló, Hungary's smallest and perhaps least-known wine region. Somló lies near lake Balaton, it is in fact a single volcanic hill that produces some of the most exciting mineral grape varieties of Hungary. This day trip will give you an insight into a region you would have a hard time reaching on your own, and it includes two winery visits and an authentic Hungarian three-course lunch. You will try 5-7 wines at each winery, and cheeses and/or cured meats will accompany your final wine tasting. Somló and the Northern Balaton region are definitely worth taking some time to explore if you are fond of nature: this off-the-beaten-track tour is complete with a light hike and some additional sightseeing stops.
