18 of the Best Vineyard Restaurants of the World

The online magazine of the famous Michelin Guide has recently published an article about 18 of the best vineyard restaurants of the world. Five of them are in the Americas (Argentina, California, Mexico), while the rest is in Europe (Austria, France, Hungary, Italy, Lichtenstein, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland). The only Central Eastern restaurant in the article is the Hungarian Sauska 48 in Villány.

“Wine is reason enough to travel, but throw in beautifully designed tasting rooms and showstopping views and you’ll see why these restaurants in the vines are worth the trip all on their own.”
Andre and Edouard Michelin founded their car tire company in 1889 and launched Michelin Guide not long after. The guide has become the guidance of not only drivers looking for petrol stations, but also for all the foodies of the most refined taste. Wine is a key phenomenon in every restaurant, wine is the ultimate spice of the dishes, no wonder the Guide dedicates special attention to winery restaurants, where wine is a given thing, not to mention the spectacular view.

Excerpt from the article about Sauska 48 restaurant:

For a Modern Take on Rustic Dishes: Sauska 48 in Villány, Hungary

From the terrace of Sauska 48 you’ll be surrounded by the second-generation winery’s vineyards in Villány, where you’ll recognize grapes like cabernet sauvignon and syrah and get introduced to native reds kadarka and kékfrankos (also known as blaufränkisch). The 48-seat bistro’s wine list focuses on reds and rosés from the surrounding vines, as well as whites from the family’s other winery in the renewed region of Tokaj, the birthplace of Aszú, the sweet dessert wine dubbed the “wine of kings, king of wines.”
The area’s farms and orchards — as well as the winery’s current release — inspire Executive Chef Attila Bicsár’s menu of homestyle Hungarian cuisine, which ranges from cabbage pasta with butter sauce and nectarine salsa to quail breast with rhubarb and baked polenta.
