The story

Mad Furmint Festival in Mad

Mad, a first-growth village in the UNESCO-listed Tokaj wine landscape where Furmint covers roughly three-quarters of vineyard area, opens over thirty cellars each first weekend of September for tastings, craft demonstrations, and live concerts celebrating the grape. Many winemakers personally guide visitors through their own cellar's specific vineyard parcel history during the tastings.

Furmint, the classic dry white grape of the Tokaj wine region, dominates roughly three-quarters of the vineyard area around Mad, one of the historic first-growth villages within a wine region UNESCO recognizes as a World Heritage landscape.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

More than thirty individual cellars across a single historic first-growth village open simultaneously for the festival, giving visitors a village-wide walking tasting experience focused entirely on one grape variety rather than a broader regional wine showcase

02

The mystery stays covered

Many winemakers personally lead visitors through their own cellar's specific vineyard parcel history, a level of direct producer access that larger multi-region wine festivals elsewhere in Hungary rarely offer at the same scale, since nearly every cellar door on the route belongs to the family that actually farms the surrounding vineyard
