3.8-Tier Hungarian Wine Tasting in a Cozy Downtown Wine Bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 269 reviews · 2 hours · from $55

Spend two hours at Bortodoor, a cozy downtown Budapest wine bar, tasting eight Hungarian wines with guides such as Sally, Suze, Mike, and Smike. The lineup moves from sparkling wine through whites, a light red, and full reds, with local cheese, meats, bread, and tasting notes. Expect history, humor, and an easy social setting.

“A really brilliant evening - we were in a group of 8 overall, a mix of solo travellers and pairs and had the best sommelier (Sally) guide us through 8 different wines. What should have been a 2h activity ended up lasting our whole evening as we enjoyed the place, the company and the wine so much. This was fun, information, casual, and surprisingly rewarding. If you have a dietary requirement just let them know; I recommend not booking anything afterwards so you can fully enjoy the experience.”
