The fruitful friendship of two families: Béres and Szamos

Szamos is a chocolate manufacture of a long history: Mátyás Szamos established his company in 1930, when he learned his craftmanship from a Danish expert. Szamos worked out some exciting combinations with Béres Vineyard and Winery from Tokaj, enchanting sweets like late harvest Magita Cuvée filled white chocolate, or marzipan pralines filled with Tokaji Aszú and aszú soaked grape berries. Szamos manufacture has a completely renewed visitor centre in Budapest which is well worth a visit, and they also hold chocolate courses regularly, where participants can create their own chocolate. (The website is only in Hungarian, if you need help, write us.)

Béres wine filled Szamos bonbons are available at Béres winery, of course, and at the festival of Bor, mámor …Bénye on 6–9 July, you can even participate in a chocolate course at the winery!
