Happy 2024 to all of our readers and winemakers!

We are delighted to see so much creativity from the winemakers! Some photos are taken by professionals, others are simple, but lovely shots – we are happy to see that winemakers still have the energy to entertain us through their social media channels. Here we collected 10 of our favourite pictures, of course we could have easily picked 100 more, but we will let you enjoy the day…

Cover photo:

Bujdosó Winery, Balaton – “We have decided to celebrate the harvest properly”. The photo features Ferenc Bujdosó, the son of the founder, an ambitious, talented and experienced winemaker with his colleague.

Zsirai Winery, Tokaj – “We don’t know exactly what’s the perfect wine, but they surely get a lot from Kata’s energy”. Photo by Furmint Photo (inside a stainless steel tank!).

Heimann Family Estate /Heimann & Sons, Szekszárd – a challenging harvest with quality above expectations (the first certified organic crop of all of their Kadarka and Kékfrankos plantations).

Csetvei Cellar, Mór – Krisztina Csetvei is well known for her creativity, just look at her last year’s harvest photo here, and this is a “simple” picture to announce a new wine store in Budapest. Csóka wine shop will sell wines of Csetvei as well.

Barta Winery, Tokaj – Another Furmint Photo production, reflecting the creation of a great wine from a great vineyard (Öreg Király (‘Old King’ in Mád, Tokaj). “Handpicked, pure Furmint and Hárslevelű grapes are cultivated in harmony with nature and treated with the least intervention possible.”

Sauska, Tokaj – This one is the New Year’s post of the estate, part of a series of similar pictures reflecting the “Sauska style” accurately. “Wishing you a year of peace, good health, and great bubbles. Happy New Year!”

Dubicz Winery and Vineyard, Mátra – Margot Robbie actress was on a diet during shooting the new Barbie movie, yet she did not restrain herself from a glass of wine or two. The Dubicz girls were impressed by the movie – so which wine is in the picture in miniature format? See here.

Garamvári Vineyard, Balaton – this year the estate producing a wide range of still and sparkling wines has placed emphasis on the feeling of enjoying sparkling wines in their creative campaign.

Villa Sandahl, Badacsony – each vintage has a different theme on the labels of the estate. 2017 is about magic – Crystal Cut 2017 Rhine Riesling label features the crystal ball of a fortine teller. “We can’t see the future, but with this picture we wish you a very happy New Year” – commented Villa Sandahl team.

Frittmann Winery, Kunság – Tamás and Péter Frittmann from the family winery preparing for the New Year’s Eve – certainly with Frittmann Gold Ezerjó sparkling wine.
