The Kőröshegy Wine and Gastro Picnic arrives on Saturday, June 20, 2026, filling Kőröshegy and its surroundings with food stalls, local wines, and lazy summer vibes. Multiple venues across the village host tastings and pop-up experiences, so plan on grazing, sipping, and wandering. Organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs, so check for updates before you go.
Where and when
It’s all happening on 2026.06.20 in and around Kőröshegy (Somogy County, Hungary). The event spreads across several locations, so expect a village-wide picnic mood. You can add it to your bucket list, set up notifications, and request information; vendors and hosts can activate their contact details to connect with visitors.
What to expect
This is a roaming picnic: think Balaton-region wines poured by local producers, picnic-friendly bites, and outdoor settings designed for lingering. The “Bor és Gasztro Piknik” (“Wine and Gastro Picnic”) formula is simple—walk, taste, repeat—sampling fresh produce, artisanal foods, and cellar favorites. Prices vary by stall and tasting, but the emphasis is on approachable, open-air enjoyment.
Make it a Balaton week
Anchor your Saturday with the picnic, then build a broader Balaton itinerary. Balatonfüred, just up the lake, runs a steady cinema program almost every week of 2026. In January, highlights include the Day of Hungarian Culture (Jan 20–23), a Vince Day celebration (Vince-nap; Jan 24), and an interactive Sunday Visit talk with Dr. Zoltán Lóderer (Jan 25, 4:00 p.m.). Literature fans can catch a László Krasznahorkai prose evening (Jan 28), while climate-watchers get “Storm Clouds Over the Hungarian Sea? Balaton Through Climate Change” on Jan 30.
Winter into spring
February brings the Brian De Palma Film Club: Femme Fatale (Feb 3), health and ecology talks under the “One Health” banner (Feb 6), and the lively Arács Carnival (Feb 7). There’s Baroque theater with Capella Savaria and the Purcell Choir (Feb 11; $19–$25), a Karolina Carnival with Imre Rakonczai (Feb 13), a buzzy lecture on digital hedonism and analog depression by Annamária Tari (Feb 13; $19), the 10th Szerelmes Füred (Valentine’s Run; Feb 14), plus a cimbalom showcase (Feb 14). End the month with the Balaton Winter Bike Tour (Feb 21) and the 1st Winter Classic – Long-Distance SUP (Feb 22).

Summer by the lake

June weaves together Book–Wine–Jazz (June 11–14), the Hungarian Motion Picture Festival (June 17–20), the International Guitar Festival in Balatonfüred (June 20–27), and the ongoing cinema lineup.
