There is perhaps no national anthem in the world, other than the Hungarian one, that thanks God for providing the country with wine and plenty.
Harvesting is hard work and a celebration at the same time. After the grapes have been pruned, pruning and grafting, it's time to make wine.
In the old days, picking grapes was a social event for which families prepared for a whole year. Back then, it was a community activity, and at the end of the day, a harvest party was held. It was a real celebration, an unmissable event, an important part of social life and a traditional way of meeting people.
Fortunately, the picking grapes and the harvesting of crops have retained this joyful character throughout the country to this day.
Join our picking grapes programme in Villány (230 km from Budapest), one of the most southern and warmest wine regions in Hungary and one of the most famous.
