The story

Villany Red Wine Festival in Villany

Since around 1987, Villany has marked Hungary's premier red-wine terroir each first weekend of October with a three-day festival spanning Ottoman-era cellar rows and the town's Event Square, built around Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Portugieser wines. Many producers reserve their most limited small-batch releases specifically for sale during this single autumn weekend.

Villany's red wine culture rests on Ottoman-era cellar rows still used today, and since around 1987 the town has marked the largest gastronomic event of the region's calendar each first weekend of October with a festival dedicated to its Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Portugieser wines.

The part that makes it specific.

The mystery stays covered

Many producers hold back their most limited small-batch wines specifically for this single October weekend, giving dedicated visitors access to releases that rarely appear at other tastings throughout the rest of the year, effectively turning the festival into a collectors' event within Hungary's red wine scene
