Guest: Nyakas Winery

Hungarians are said to be hard to unite, and we must admit it. Thus, it is even more appreciated, when people – and wineries – are able to join forces instead of constantly competing. Etyeki Kúria launched a series of wine events every time with a different invited “neighbour”. At the 3rd edition the wellknown Nyakas Winerywill be represented by Dr. Beáta Nyúlné Pühra, the chief winemaker, “Winemaker of the Year 2021”. The host is the chief winemaker of Etyeki Kúria, Sándor Mérész.

Date and time: 13 April 2024, 18.30–22.30
Venue: Etyeki Kúria winery, Etyek, Öreghegy (only half an hour by car from Budapest or 40 minutes by bus)
Price: 28 500 HUF / 72 euro
Price includes: the 5-course dinner, 5-5 wines from each winery paired with the courses
Purchase ticket here (in Hungarian) or contact the winery.
Language: during the event the moderator, Kitty Borsos will ask questions from both winemakers, hence for English speakers it is recommended to have a Hungarian in the company who can translate some of the talks.
Chef: Bence Szucskó
