Szekszárd – the wine region and its capital city – is pronounced ‘Sexard’, but there is no evidence that the citizens would make love more often than others… Lajver Wine House is a bit farther away from the city, it is located in the valley of Lajvér stream, surrounded by neat terraces of vineyards. For a romantic getaway one of the deluxe rooms or the suite of the estate is just perfect! And the restaurant – Gastro Workshop – offers mouth-watering plates like rosé duck breast with walnut noodles, baked apple purée and plums cooked in red wine.
The estate awaits you from the 1st February 2025 – there are only a few rooms, so it is better to book ahead!

Tranquility is taken seriously at Lajver Wine Estate, this is why children under 14 are not accepted. The estate building of Lajver Wine House fits into the surrounding hills and grape terraces, seamlessly, the valley is spectacular, the tasting hall is an astonishing, spacious place and even the cellar visit offers modern beauty. The chef of the wine bistro is creative and passionate, the staff is friendly, the wines are impressive.
The rooms are furnished with the use of the most natural materials: glass, stone, wood, concrete, subtle textiles. There are only a few rooms, so it is ideal for couples or small groups. The deluxe rooms have 39 square meters, while the suit has 67 square meters.
