Attila Estate’s Vineyards and Bites
Tucked in Szekszárd’s Baranya Valley, Attila Birtok boasts 14 hectares of vineyards growing kékfrankos, kadarka, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, and zweigelt grapes. Their restaurant focuses on wine-food harmony, pairing Bodri wines perfectly with chef Makk Norbert’s creations. The focus? Showcasing Hungary’s diverse cuisine, tweaked and modernized but always centered on hearty Hungarian flavors.
Bodri Winery’s Massive Allure
The 100-hectare Bodri Winery doubles as a tourist hub with winery operations, an event center, restaurant, show kitchen, and guesthouses in a stunning southern valley. Its 1800-square-meter grand cellar dazzles with twelve domes; check out the 300-square-meter aging cellar on tours. The 1400-square-meter rosé facility produces big batches of premium wine. Fancy guest rooms accommodate 61 at once, plus an underground thermal Roman dome bath, jacuzzi, and sauna for ultimate relaxation. Optimus Restaurant serves up a modernized variety of Hungarian dishes.
Borfaragó Pince’s Hidden Charm
In Szekszárd’s “main street” core, Borfaragó Pince occupies a former carpenter’s and woodcarver’s workshop, luring guests with tastings of craft wines amid folk woodcarving masterpieces. Ideal for low-key gatherings with friends or colleagues—off the beaten city-center path but easy to reach by good roads. Their estate hub sits on Várdomb Hill, featuring kékfrankos for its versatility, quality, and reliability as a solo or in blends, alongside rajnai rizling, cserszegi fűszeres, kadarka, kékoportó, merlot, cabernet franc, and syrah. Vineyards mostly in Porkoláb Valley process only homegrown grapes, skipping industrial yeasts, malolactic bacteria, enzymes, fining agents, colorants, flavor boosters, filtration, sterilization, oxygenation, and heat treatments—all wines get bottled directly. They champion local Szekszárd varieties but include experiments, especially rosés from nearly every blue grape that score big abroad. Reds shine too, blending locals like kékfrankos and kadarka with global stars—merlot, cabernet, pinot noir—while keeping that signature Szekszárd taste. Relax on the vineyard hill with exceptional wines unlike the usual!
