Tokaj is among the top 10 destinations

An ultimate list by American VinePair

VinePair American drinks website made a list of 10 winelovers’ destinations – all of which have something trendy and exciting. The ultimate list was created early in January, meant to give travel ideas for a whole year with wine countries like California, which has just been recovered from the great fire, a South African region, „the New World’s newest Burgundian region”, Corsica with its hard-to find wines or Chilean Casablanca Valley, where you can see vibrant, cool street art works, and wines are excellent examples of cool climate winemaking. Tokaj is included in this prestigious list with dry wines being a relatively new phenomenon: „Now, winemakers in Tokaj are garnering attention not only for the nectar-like Tokaji, but also for dry wines from local grapes like Furmint and Hárslevelű. Located two hours east of Budapest, most of Tokaj’s vineyards surround an ancient volcano, their cellars carved into volcanic rock. A car is definitely necessary to get around, as are appointments for tastings; but the benefit is that visitors often get one-on-one tours with winemakers. New energy is surging into Tokaj, making 2018 the perfect time to experience it.”
