About this activity

The northern shore of Lake Balaton is one of the most unique landscapes of Hungary. Along this tour we would like to show you the less touristy, off-the-beaten-path treasures of the region. Since for both of us working at Wine it Up this region is a second home, you can trust us on picking the best of it for you to show.

Itinerary

Erzsebet Bridge

Passing by

During the way in and out from the city, we are going to drive through the iconic white bridge in the heart of Budapest.
Buda Castle

Passing by

During the way in and out from the city, we are going to drive by the iconic Royal Palace in the heart of Budapest.
Tihany

1 h 30 min

We enter the village of Tihany and its historic center, the tiny cute streets packed with thatched roofed houses. On the top of the hill we visit the magnificent abbey and its small museum. Lastly, all we have to do is sit back, we will have some coffee and fine cakes on one of the most panoramic terraces of lake Balaton. Here we make sure you have some time remained for some shopping, too.
Tihanyi Levendula Manufaktura

Passing by

During our walk through the UNESCO world heritage listed village, we will have a sneak peak into the distillery, where all the locally grown lavender starts his journey towards becoming small-scale scented cosmetics.
Csopak

30 min

Just a few minutes drive away Csopak, which is located on a pretty hill, has a lovely wine scene with a lot of colourful events and adorable venues. We will stop by one of them to taste some great wines from the local vineyards.
Szent Gyorgy Mountain

2 hours

This is one of our personal favourites. This charming hill patched with family-run wineries is a remnant of a volcano, which is reflected in the character of its wines.

Here we will visit two of the traditional wine-producing families and have a delicious lunch on one of heir beautiful terraces accompanied by their best wines.
Balaton Uplands National Park

Passing by

On our way back to Budapest we would love to show you some spectacular micro-environments of the Balaton Uplands.
