In the northeast of Hungary, the Tokaj Wine Region forms a triangle from Abaújszántó to Tokaj and up to Sátoraljaújhely on the border with Slovakia. The vineyards lie along the foothills of the pristine Zemplén Mountains, at the meeting with the enormous Great Hungarian Plain, which provides the summer heat for the vines. Humidity essential for the noble rot, the Botrytis, drifts up from the Bodrog and Tisza rivers.

Hungary’s Tokaj region is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by wine enthusiasts and travelers seeking authentic experiences. Let’s delve into what makes this historic wine region a must-visit destination.
