Absolutely lovely place. We've been here several years ago and it's only getting better! The owner's daughter speaks excellent English and is a great introduction to the world of Nemeth's wines. Delicious snacks: bread, ham and cheese. A must-have accessory for your tasting! Lovely, homely atmosphere. It's fun to be a part of it!

Dear Friends, I first started to deal with wine in 1999, after falling in love with the atmosphere of Budapest's vineyards and the romanticism of Etyek. What began as a hobby, with an initial production of just four barrels a year, evolved after a few years into a way of life-into a vineyard that has expanded to many hectares, producing 22,000 bottles of wine each year. The one-man entreprise has become a family estate: my wife, my brother, and my son are my partners, always with me in my passion. However, we are concerned not only with the fate of our estate, but also of Etyek, the Budapest wine region, and Hungarian wine more generally. I am very grateful for this lifelong pursuit, a labor of love that I hope to pass on to future generations. We are blessed with a wonderful team who are devoted to creating a memorable experience for visitors to our estate. They will guide you through the flavors of Etyek, introduce you to the terroir of our vineyards, and help you feel the magic and romance of the countryside. We would be honored to welcome you at Rókusfalvy Birtok! Rókusfalvy Pál

About our technology: To ensure highest quality we handpick our grapes. Thanks to the cooled, stainless steel tanks technology, after the squeezing the fermentation happens directionally. We cool the stum on 10 Celsius than we separate it from the lees. We start the fermentation with yeast which than happens on 17 Celsius. We have increased our processing and storage capacity which means that the Geszler Winery is now capable of making 1800 hl both commercial quantity reductive and traditional (oak barrel aged) wine. We perform the bottling on our own bottling production line. The peculiar, distincive Geszler Winery wines are the result of the traditional, delicate hand-harvest, the rapid processing on the modern production line and barrel-aging.

6. Esztergom Basilica / Cathedral

Built in the first half of the nineteenth century, the largest cathedral in Hungary incorporates the red marble Rakocz Chapel, a fine example of Renaissance art.
Reviewed By DerAlteBach - Sydney, Australia
The basilica is an architectural masterpiece. Built in the early nineteenth century, it incorporates the Bakócz Chapel, built by Italian masters between 1506–1507 out of red marble from Süttő. The crypt contains a most moving memorial to Cardinal József Mindszenty. An amusing note: different tickets need to be purchased to visit the various areas of the basilica. Accordingly, there are ticket checkers stationed all over the huge building to ensure that visitors have paid appropriately. The panorama coffee bar is situated halfway up the staircase to the gigantic dome. That part of the spiral staircase is "sealed," in the sense that there are no entrances into the spiral staircase other than at the bottom. Nevertheless, my ticket with first checked at the bottom, and then again when I reached the panorama level, despite the fact that there was no way I could possibly have climbed to the panorama level without passing the ticket checker at the bottom!

The original abbey was established by King Andras I in the 11th century.
Reviewed By Rainbowtravelgirl - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Driving along the lake Balaton we saw the brown road sign " Tihany ". With zero info, we drove up to find an interesting village which happened to be a touristic one to our surprised. Parking seemed not easy to find and finally we found one along the village main road. It was a pay parking. We went up following the direction to a baroque Abbey Church. Wow what an idyllic setting. Calendar-inspired views. One can make a pleasant walk in a well-paved pathways. In the Visitor Center, one can buy a ticket for a guided tour + a short film about the Abbey. I recommend this. Friar Richard guided us. A group of tourist had an spontaneous " choir concert ". Around the Abbey is a Guest House that opens whole year round. There is a pastry shop where you can have breakfast or hot meals. It has a terrace overlooking the placid, serene Balaton Lake. Beautiful. When in Balaton Lake, come to this village and be filled with spirituality too. Had a short stay but very meaningful. The Peace of God !
