Wines of Hungary Masterclass

Hungary is a country with a wine history dating back at least to Roman times, and which, certainly in wine terms, has emerged from the Communist era as successfully as anywhere, so we're thrilled to be able to do out first ever Masterclass on Hungarian wines

And we’re very pleased to be joined for this by András Horkay, who’s been promoting Hungarian wines and wine regions both at home and abroad since 2010. He’s the founder and director of the Central European Wine Institute (CEWI) – think of it as the Budapest equivalent of Manchester Wine School - and also lectures in the field of tourism and hospitality.

András will guide us through a selection of wines from what arguably are Hungary’s two best known regions. There’ll be four wines from the prestigious Tokaj region in the north-east, the oldest classified wine region in the world. Here, the Furmint grape (often aided by a couple of other varieties) is used to produce not only some of the world’s finest sweet wines but also increasingly impressive dry whites.

And heading south-west to the opposite end of the country, there’ll be five wines from the Villány region close to the Croatian border, all made from the region's trademark grape - Cabernet Franc

With nine wines to try and an expert to guide you through them, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Thanks to the generosity of “Best of Hungary” in assistance with this event, we’re able to offer this tasting for just £40 a head.
