One of the oldest wine regions of Hungary, dynamically developing wineries, quality wine production, beautiful countryside that attracts the visitors, millennial culture and world heritage site, rows of cellars, tasty wines: this is the Pannonhalma wine region. Discover the wineries in the varied vineyards; taste the heavenly juices and discover the other sights of the area!

Though it is unusual, we have put together several mini tours for you within the tour, typically with two wineries ‘in the lead role’, so you can comfortably explore, on foot, the countryside and taste the fruit of the vineyards everywhere, over several days.

The list of wineries is only a short one. What else would you add, and what would be the theme of the new mini wine tour?


Tour planning

On the ten-kilometre-long Várkő educational trail, you can walk through twenty stations in the area of the Győrújbarát hills with stunning natural features. Next to 12 out of the 20 stations there are large boards illustrated with colour photos. The road can also be used by disabled people with the help of a horse-drawn carriage which can accommodate a wheelchair.

The winery of the Pécsinger family, which is striking from afar and was designed by Dezső Ekler, the Ybl-award winner architect, stands on Baron Hill. According to the family legends, when János Pécsinger Senior, who founded the winery several decades ago, was sledging on Baron Hill on a winter’s day, he promised little János that he would build him a house in the area. The boy grew up, the house was built, although not as a residential building, but as a grape processing plant, where, in addition to the juices made by the pasteurization process, reductive and barrel-aged wines are also produced.

The modern, imposing building also hosts wine tasting events for groups at pre-arranged dates. Their highly successful summer event is called Borlemente (Wineset), where the visitors can enjoy the wonderful lights of the setting sun, accompanied by musical programmes and excellent wines.

The history of the Babarczi family's wine estate dates back to 1980, when the family planted their first vines in the garden of their family’s house in Győrújbarát. Since then, they have been growing grapevines on tens of hectares.

In 2002, they have established their new estate centre in Győrújbarát; according to legend, its main building was built of bricks from the Castle of Győr, which had been blown up by the Turks. The building, reminiscent of old times, was also furnished to receive guests. Groups are welcome to participate in their wine tasting events.

Wandering the Sokoró Hills (green)

Pannonhalma and its region are wonderful tourist destinations: after a visit to a historical building how about going for a hike in the Sokoró Hills. It would be a shame to miss it, go and see it for yourself!
