Enjoy a three-day wine harvest festival at Lake Balaton from September 12-14, 2025, packed with food, music, and classic Hungarian festivities in Balatonboglár (Zrínyi Miklós Street 100.). Start your Friday with a welcome drink and pogácsa (cheese biscuits), then settle into your accommodation. As evening falls, sample local wines and classic snacks like bread with lard and red onion, all accompanied by live music. Dinner features tarragon stew, the region’s famous meat pancakes, and dessert, followed by dancing and merrymaking.
All About the Harvest
Saturday starts with a buffet breakfast before a train ride to the vineyards for grape picking—accompanied by walnut scones and plenty of fröccs (wine spritzer). Lunch highlights include cellar-pot goulash, lamb paprikash, and chocolate kuglóf (bundt cake). Sample the fresh grape must and tour a local attraction in the afternoon. Tea and pastries bridge the gap before a hearty dinner, with more dancing and a folklore show at the Harvest Ball.
Wine Deals & Discounts
Sunday’s buffet breakfast wraps up with a wine market featuring local producers. The entire package costs around $170 per person, with 10% off for retirees and loyal guests. Arriving by train? The organizers will greet you at the station. Dates and activities may change—bring your appetite for surprises!
