The 7th ‘Bordói November’ grand tasting awaits red wine lovers on 17 November. Though indigenous varieties are the ones we are mostly looking for in a country, at the same time we must admit the qualities of the renowned international varieties. The so called Bordeaux varieties – Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot – and their blends undoubtedly have the potential to give full bodied, velvety, layered impressive wines. In the glamorous halls of Corinthia Hotel Budapest more than 60 wineries will present about 150 wines. The entrance ticket entitles the visitor to taste all the wines.

Top wine hall

Participants can visit the hall of top wines as well to taste flagship wines of some icon wineries (like Mandolás by Vylyan, Bock Cuvée by Bock, Infusio by Pannonhalmi Archabbey Winery) along with some Bordeaux wines (for instance Château Rauzan Ségla 2ème Grand Cru Classé Margaux 2017) and some new world wines. Samples are to be paid here.
