Cellars, Kilns, and Vineyard Dinners
A local family winery cultivates nine hectares and has long championed red wines, though they also craft easygoing whites to pair with meals. Tastings introduce guests to different grape varieties and styles; you can bundle them with lunch or dinner by prior arrangement. The kitchen turns out kiln-baked crispy pork and traditional dishes that match the cellar’s strengths. They host private events—friendly gatherings, company dinners, business meetings, press briefings—and run cellar tours, wine trips, and wine dinners. After tasting, you can buy your favorites at cellar prices from the on-site vinotheque.
There’s also a storied wine bar whose name nods to a Lőverek (Lőverek) legend: visitors who once came seeking cures and stepped into the then-called Pinceborozó supposedly walked out healed. Today it stretches over nearly 3,230 square feet with three rooms—roomy enough for convivial nights and big groups.
Before You Go
Everything is spread across multiple venues in Sopron, so confirm exact locations, dates, and availability with each organizer. Accommodation and restaurant listings repeat across the city’s core and the Lőverek (Lőverek) green belt; both areas make perfect bases for exploring vineyards by day and returning to a glass—or a game—by night. And remember: organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs.
