Káptalantóti’s Liliomkert Market fires up every Sunday in 2026, drawing crowds to one of the Balaton Uplands’ prettiest spots in the Káli Basin at 8283 Petőfi Street 1 (Petőfi u. 1). Biologist and engineer Harmathy Ildikó dreamed it up and made it happen, turning it into a national favorite. Show up hungry—it’s impossible not to sample everything as you wander the local producers’ stalls. Dive into bacon-and-cheese pogácsas peeking from baskets, caraway seed kiflis piled high and steaming, or fresh lángos straight from the oven slathered in sour cream.
From Friendly Chat to Regional Hotspot
Born from a casual chat among friends, the Liliomkert Market in Káptalantóti now packs in producers and shoppers from far and wide every Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., January 1 through December 31. The vibe is unbeatable thanks to face-to-face chats with makers, free tastes, and direct buys of fresh, top-quality goods. Visitor numbers swell, especially in the mornings, so come early. Bring cash—not every stall takes cards.
Endless Tasty Finds
Expect a huge range of homemade and craft goodies: foods like homemade cheeses, fresh cracklings, hams, syrups, jams, fresh and dried fruits, bakery items, cakes, strudels in all flavors; drinks such as homemade syrups, pálinkas, local wines; crafts including carvings, handmade ornaments, lavender- and rose-scented ceramics, unique gifts; plus antiques like old objects, books, and oddities.
Stay and Play Nearby
Nestled in Káptalantóti and embraced by four hills, our guesthouse at the end of the village offers three apartments with private kitchens and baths. Lake Balaton is just 4 km away, with neighbors Badacsonytomaj, Salföld, and Mindszentkálla. The area buzzes with activities; evenings mean grilling and wine by the fire. On Tóti Hill’s southwest slope, a stunning old family estate, run since 2010, features a family-run restaurant led by Istvándy Csilla. Beyond the restaurant: soccer field, playground, tons of space for families and friends.
Sárga Ház (Yellow House) Retreat and Volcanic Wines
The 200 m² Sárga Ház (Yellow House) is perfect for escaping crowds—three units: Pergola-Ház (Pergola House), Bunker, and VinCellár (Wine Cellar), each about 70 m² with living room, dining area, bedroom, bathroom, and tea kitchen. There’s also the standalone Kivi-ház summer kitchen, using veggies straight from our garden for amazing meals. Sip volcanic wines from Sabar Hill’s seven-hectare winery in the Badacsony wine region—international-style, concentrated, vibrant whites mostly, plus rosé and reds, all with moderate alcohol, aged in premium barrels.
