The House of Hungarian Wines (Hungarian: Magyar Borok Háza) was a wine shop in Budapest, near the Buda Castle.[1][2]

History[]

This was one of the largest wine houses of the country. The entry fee enabled one unlimited sampling for two hours.[3] The House had over 700 wines on display from Hungary’s 22 wine regions.[1][4] The visitors could try another Hungaricum, the pálinka (different types of fruit spirits) specialities also. It was possible to taste a collection of handmade cheeses. During the wine tasting one could get acquainted with the history, type of wine regions and international and local grape selections.
