Wine Exhibition and Fair: 9th -13th September 2009
„Wine is a part of the history of countries, an expression of national character, a source of problems and pleasures.”
In September of 2009, for eightteenth time, the Budapest International Wine and Festival is realised. The Wine Festival had grown into the most highly regarded and popular professional event and combined arts festival of Central Europe, where each year many tens of thousands learn the art of sophisticated wine consumption and get to know the wine makers and the traditions associated with viniculture.
Take a look at a sampler of this year’s colorful series of programs!

Gastronomy is an integral part of the Wine Festival: a corner grill, potluck farm, open air kitchen, scones baked on-site, ’töki pompos lángos’ (a fancy flat scone), sheep, goat and cow cheeses, appetisers and other delicacies await visitors.
The quality programming of the Festival stages provide the entertainment, dance and music.

The judgment of the participants determines which wine wins the „Wine of the Festival” title among all the wines that will have been tasted. More information...
