Stay by the Kánya Stream
Think stately comfort on the bank of the Kánya Stream (Kánya-patak): two grand-bourgeois apartments with wide, bright rooms and fully equipped kitchens. Just 9.3 miles from Eger, at the foot of the Bükk Mountains, a 2.47-acre site hosts three cave houses. Apartments for 4, 6, and 9 guests come with bathrooms, toilets, hot water, underfloor heating, and equipped kitchens. Each yard has its own terrace plus grilling and kettle-cooking options.
Wine Country, Family-Run
Fine wines and good vibes await in the village of beehive rocks and the famed black cherry. Founded in 2001 by the Nagy family, the winery sits in Szomolya on the eastern side of the Eger Wine Region, with most vineyards nearby. The family oversees vineyard care, processing, and sales. Another family cellar in Szomolya boasts top terroir—truly prime Carpathian Basin ground.
Cellar Experiences
Year-round cellar tours with tastings by appointment: wine tastings, oven-baked wine-and-food feasts, demonstrations of fattened-pig processing, wine snacks, unlimited food and drinks, and dinner shows featuring the Eger region’s best wines.
