Do the dirty job!

Síkhegy is a precious vineyard in Eger wine region, giving stunning Egri Bikavér wines. Harvest is the most important period in the life of a winery, therefore guests should be honoured to get insight in the procedure for one day. Work and fun, tasting grapes, must and wine. Transfer is provided.

Harvesting is not as romantic as you might imagine from the cosy chair of a wine bar. To cut the stalks for hours is hard work, at the end of the day your back aches, you are surrounded by insects who are crazy about your skin covered with sticky grape juice and the sun always shines from the wrong direction. But believe us, if you work hard, after that you will have the most enjoyable glass of wine in your life.
