Mór, the capital of one of Hungary’s historic wine regions, is gearing up for a packed 2026 with festivals, tastings, heritage nights, and family fun woven through the calendar. Set where the Vértes and Bakony mountains meet in Central Transdanubia, this charming, laid-back small town serves up its famed Mór Ezerjó alongside traditions, culture, and easygoing hospitality—all across multiple venues around town starting February 5.
Key Dates to Circle
It all kicks off on February 5 with Sándor Silye’s book launch, “The Hungarian Murphy and Other Snippets” (“A magyar Mörfi és más szösszenetek”), in Mór. Expect witty Hungarian twists, light essays, and a local crowd turning up for a literary evening.
Spring brings one of Mór’s signature traditions: the Mór St. George’s Week Revelries (Móri Szent György-heti Vigasságok) on April 25. This St. George’s Week celebration taps into local customs, food, and of course wine—think community spirit, music, and street energy as the town shakes off winter.
On May 31, Children’s Day (Gyereknap) takes over with activities geared to families. From games to crafts, it’s an easy pick if you’re visiting with kids or just want a cheerful, low-pressure day in town.
June 20 marks Night of Museums (Múzeumok Éjszakája), when Mór’s cultural spaces keep their doors open late. It’s the perfect moment to pair nocturnal museum-hopping with local whites in hand—especially the crisp Ezerjó that made Mór’s name.
Summer peaks with the Mórikum Culture–Spritzer Festival (Mórikum Kultúr–Fröccs–Fesztivál), running August 19–20. “Fröccs” is the Hungarian wine spritzer, and Mór embraces it with style: think bubbly evenings, culture-forward programming, and a social scene that spills into the streets.
Then comes the headliner: Mór Wine Days (Móri Bornapok), October 2–4. This is the big one—wine producers pouring their best, cellars open, tastings lined up, and food stalls pushing regional flavors. If you want the full Mór experience, Wine Days is the weekend to plan around.
Where to Stay
Right in the center of the Mór wine district sits a guesthouse that could pass for a small hotel, open year-round. Rooms come in singles, doubles, and triples; superior rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with private bathrooms and TVs. There’s also an apartment unit with its own kitchen and bath, plus extra bed options. Groups are welcome thanks to 50 beds on site. You’ll find a secure parking lot, valuables can be stored in a safe on request, and there’s free Wi‑Fi throughout. The entire building is fully accessible and has an elevator.
Prefer boutique charm? On a quiet, nearly 300-year-old little street in the town center, a regionally styled boutique hotel offers 25 rooms and 5 apartments. Furniture here nods to the 1700s with painted and carved Austrian pieces reminiscent of the area’s Swabian heritage. Some rooms feature Old German–Hungarian furnishings, while one corridor showcases a Neobaroque style. It’s atmospheric, local, and tailor-made for travelers who love design with a story.
The House of Serving Love, operated by the Mór Reformed Church Congregation, offers an affordable year-round lodging option for up to 39 guests. It’s fully equipped, linens and towels included, and makes an excellent base for school nature trips in autumn, spring, and winter.
On the edge of town, a wellness hotel with its own riding park and indoor riding hall looks out across panoramic mountain views. It features 31 rooms, 4 suites, a breakfast room, a wellness area, and a pool bar. Furnishings by Austria’s Voglauer give the interiors a sleek, modern elegance. There’s even a honeymoon room decked out with Austrian folk-style farmhouse furniture and a canopy bed. Currently closed, it reopens on April 3, 2026.
What to Eat and Drink
At the heart of Mór, ARA Restaurant (ARA Étterem) welcomes guests Monday through Saturday, 11:00–22:00, all year round. When the weather cooperates, grab a table in the garden and linger over local flavors outdoors.
Wine is the throughline in Mór, and family-run cellars set the tone. One winery founded in 1991 currently cultivates 25 hectares and steers away from mass production to craft small-batch specialties. Expect fresh, youthful, aromatic whites alongside dry, semi-dry, and semi-sweet bottlings and rarities. Their nearly 300-year-old cellars hold both new vintages and a museum collection of historic Mór wines. The on-site Wine Museum is open year-round for tastings, where you can dive into the region’s grape-growing traditions, explore the famous local styles, and tour the cellar and a display of winemaking tools.
New energy is here too. Brigád, a small outfit born in 2013 when a group of young enthusiasts made their first Mór wine, now farms 3 hectares. Their aim: highlight the character of the terroir and keep each bottling distinctive.
Traditions That Matter
Mór takes its heritage seriously. The local wine order works to develop and strengthen the region’s viticultural traditions and values. Its mission includes maintaining high standards in all wine culture activities and inspiring producers and the community to keep the craft thriving.
Plan Your Mór Year
Whether you’re booking for the splashy Wine Days in October, dropping in for the culture-and-spritzer fest in August, or slipping into museums after dark in June, Mór makes it easy to fill a weekend—and your glass. Stay in the center for history-rich charm or out by the hills for spa downtime and horseback riding. Then let Ezerjó lead the way through a calendar that tastes like Mór: bright, grounded, and unmistakably local.
