Get to know five Hungarian wine districts and their distinctive wine types in one masterclass session! In the varied line-up, you’ll find both local grape varieties and examples of wine-growing areas that have committed to growing international grape varieties. The line-up opens with a vibrant Sauvignon Blanc from Etyek, an elegant Riesling from Pannonhalma and a minerally Juhfark from Somló. Then it’s time to turn to the reds: first a complex Szekszárd Bikavér and then two serious Villány Francs.
