We spent a gorgeous sunny afternoon driving out from Budapest to the Etyek wine region, approximately 30 mins out of town. Our first experience was tasting hand made chocolates paired with white and red wines. This takes place in the kitchen at the owner’s house in the village of Etyek. Our host was great and explained the intricacies of the art of chocolate making. You can even have a go at making bonbons. Bars of chocolate and bonbons are available for purchase and come beautifully packaged. They make excellent gifts but there is no pressure to buy whatsoever. We then proceeded to a nearby vineyard where we tasted more of the local wines in a wonderful purpose built visitor centre with views out over the hills. To finish off the day we went to another nearby vineyard and Bed and Breakfast where the owner provided more wine for us to sample followed by a traditional 2 course Hungarian meal. We enjoyed a delicious game stew of Venison and Wild Boar, freshly hunted by the host and prepared by his wife. This was followed by a sour cherry strudel. They will happily cater for any dietary requests as long as you tell your guide so they can have some notice. Thank You to Louis, our driver for taking good care of us. Thank You especially to our charming guide Margaret, who was very informative and, most of all, great fun. There was much laughter and that really made the trip great. All in all we were away over 5 hours. It was a memorable trip and a wonderful way to meet and spend time with local people. Most interactions are with hotel staff or waiters! It was also great to get outside the city and see some beautiful countryside.This was one of the best Tours my husband and I have been on. From start to finish we enjoyed every moment. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, the chocolate tasting was delicious and fun, and the wine tasting and dinner were fantastic! We even took some chocolate and wine home with us...
