Looking for vibrant cultural and culinary events year-round? Set in a lakeside holiday village on Lake Balaton’s north shore, Vonyarcvashegy offers a packed calendar of concerts, theater nights, festivals, and endless leisure—on the beach and beyond. Locals swear their slogan, “Forest behind us, water in front,” says it all: stroll from the shore up to the peak of the Keszthely Mountains for jaw-dropping panoramas, and you’ll understand why the 2,400 residents are proud of their home.
From Wine Cellars to Sausage Fests
Autumn in Vonyarcvashegy is all about traditions. Wine lovers can join the Open Wine Cellar Days at the iconic 200-year-old Festetics Helikon Tavern Cellar (Festetics Helikon Taverna Pince) almost every weekend from late October through December. Feast on regional flavors at the Vonyarcvashegy Sausage Festival (Vonyarcvashegyi Kolbászoló), a lively pig slaughter and sausage-making competition, on November 15. Don’t miss Péter Aranyosi’s stand-up night at Zenit Balaton Restaurant (Zenit Balaton Étterem) on November 28—there’s something here for everyone.
