Mór, nestled where the Vértes and Bakony mountains meet in Central Transdanubia, rolls into 2026 with a full slate of festivals, tastings, and community celebrations in the homeland of Móri Ezerjó. From book launches to all-night museum adventures, from carnival workshops to the legendary Mór Wine Days (Móri Bornapok), the calendar is packed and the wine is flowing. Organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs, so keep plans flexible and glasses ready.
February Kicks Off: Books and Carnival Spirit
It all starts on Thursday, 2026.02.05., with Sándor Silye presenting his new book “A magyar Mörfi és más szösszenetek” (The Hungarian Murphy and Other Tidbits) in Mór. It’s a friendly literary warm-up before kids take over Lamberg Mansion (Lamberg-kastély): from 2026.02.10. to 2026.02.12., the Lamberg-kastély hosts carnival-themed museum education sessions for children’s groups. Expect masks, tradition, and hands-on fun inside one of the town’s most storied buildings.
Spring Traditions and Family Days
On 2026.04.25., Mór celebrates Szent György-heti Vigasságok, the St. George Week Revelry, a local favorite packed with heritage, community, and—naturally—wine. A few weeks later, 2026.05.31. brings Gyereknap, a family-friendly Children’s Day full of activities and treats for the youngest Mór fans.
Summer: Museums at Night and a Culture-Spritzer Bash
Mark 2026.06.20. for Night of the Museums (Múzeumok éjszakája), the one night a year when museums open their doors until late. It’s prime time to explore exhibits, cellar heritage, and town history in a different light. Then on 2026.08.19.–2026.08.20., the Mórikum Culture–Spritzer Festival (Mórikum Kultúr–Fröccs Fesztivál) hits full sparkle: culture meets the classic Hungarian spritzer with street-side vibes, music, local flavors, and long summer twilights.
Autumn Crown Jewel: Mór Wine Days (Móri Bornapok)
The season peaks 2026.10.02.–2026.10.04. with Mór Wine Days (Móri Bornapok). It’s Mór’s signature wine celebration, spotlighting Ezerjó and the region’s styles—from fresh and aromatic to dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, and rare specialties. Expect tastings, vineyard stories, and the proud pageantry of the local wine order, which keeps traditions alive through St. George’s Day events, competitions, inductions, and co-hosting Wine Days while staying closely connected with neighboring wine orders.
Where to Stay: From Boutique Charm to Group-Friendly
A guesthouse in the heart of the Mór wine region operates year-round and could pass as a small hotel. Rooms come in 1-, 2-, and 3-bed options, plus air-conditioned superior rooms with private bathrooms and TV. There’s also an apartment unit with bath and kitchen, and extra beds are available. With 50 beds in total, the property welcomes groups, offers secure enclosed parking, a safe for valuables on request, free Wi‑Fi throughout the building, full accessibility, and an elevator.
In the city center, on a peaceful, nearly 300-year-old street, a regional boutique hotel adds historical flair: 25 rooms and 5 apartments furnished with painted and carved Austrian pieces reminiscent of 18th-century styles akin to the local Swabian heritage. Some rooms feature old German–Hungarian furniture, and an entire wing showcases Neo-Baroque elegance.
The House of Serving Love, operated by the Mór Reformed Parish, is open year-round and accommodates 39 guests with linens and towels provided—great in fall, spring, and winter as a forest-school base for class trips.
A wellness hotel on the town’s edge, overlooking the hills with its own equestrian park and indoor riding arena, reopens on 2026.04.03. It offers 31 rooms, 4 suites, a breakfast room, a wellness area, and a pool bar. Rooms feature Austrian Voglauer furniture for a crisp, modern elegance; the honeymoon room stands out with Austrian folk-style rustic pieces and a canopy bed.
Wine to Remember: Cellars, Orders, and Family Stories
ARA Restaurant in central Mór serves year-round Monday–Saturday, 11:00–22:00, with a garden terrace in good weather. For cellar wanderers, a family winery managing 25 hectares crafts small-batch, characterful wines and curates a museum collection in 300-year-old cellars. Drop into their Wine Museum for tastings, tools of the trade, and cellar tours.
The Brigád, started by a group of enthusiasts in 2013, farms 3 hectares and strives to express terroir and uniqueness. Another family-run cellar—think sunshine, dogs, grill smoke, friends, and Ezerjó—welcomes tastings, wine dinners, and team building. There’s also viticulture and oenology consulting in town for the grape-curious.
Ezerjó Restaurant (Ezerjó Étterem) sits opposite the Holy Cross–Hungarian Church (Szent Kereszt–Magyar Templom) and handles everything from romantic dinners to weddings with air conditioning, a 100-seat main hall, a 50-seat private room, and a winterized terrace for 45.
Frey Cellar (Frey Pince), founded in 1993 on 300 years of Swabian vine culture, blends traditional and reductive techniques and focuses on wine tourism in a historic cellar along Mór’s cellar row (pincesor). Friday Winery, run by an engineer couple in the Csóka vineyard on 0.5 hectares, channels California vibes into barrel-aged Ezerjó and Chardonnay; their sparkling Ezerjó is a winner well beyond Fridays. Another cellar on Ezerjó Street bottles and sells by the jug, with varieties including Ezerjó, Chardonnay, Királyleányka (Princesa), Olaszrizling (Welschriesling), Irsai Olivér, Szürkebarát (Pinot Gris), and Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch)—available for tastings and private or corporate events.
Plan, Sip, Repeat
Whether it’s carnival crafts, museum nights, a spritzer-fueled street party, or the definitive Wine Days weekend, Mór’s 2026 lineup is a love letter to wine, heritage, and easygoing small-town charm. Dates may shift, but the welcome won’t.
