One of the oldest wine regions of Hungary, dynamically developing wineries, quality wine production, beautiful countryside that attracts the visitors, millennial culture and world heritage site, rows of cellars, tasty wines: this is the Pannonhalma wine region. Discover the wineries in the varied vineyards; taste the heavenly juices and discover the other sights of the area!
Though it is unusual, we have put together several mini tours for you within the tour, typically with two wineries ‘in the lead role’, so you can comfortably explore, on foot, the countryside and taste the fruit of the vineyards everywhere, over several days.
The list of wineries is only a short one. What else would you add, and what would be the theme of the new mini wine tour?
The Szurdik, one of the largest steep-walled deep detritus valleys in Europe is found in Nyúl. A narrow road leads across the 8-10-metre-wide valley, which is bordered by 15- to 20-metre-high vertical walls. From the loess wall next to it, especially on the Vaskapu (Iron Gate) Road, the characteristic wine cellars carved into the wall follow each other, and 6 to 10 metres long, about 2 metres wide and one hundred- to two-hundred-year-old structures are not uncommon. These cellar entrances made of stone or brick are really cosy! At the end of the trip, you can taste fine wines in the Sons of Wind (Szél Fiai) Inn & Cellarium.
St. Donatus of Arezzo is known as the patron saint of many wine regions. People are praying to him to protect them against elemental damage (lightning, hail). His cult is the strongest in the Rhine wine region, but it also has a tradition in Hungary. The winegrowers of Nyúl honour the martyred bishop as their patron saint still today. Their ancestors erected a chapel in his honour. The sanctuary of the building dates from 1710, which was enlarged to be a chapel in 1830 and also a bell tower was added in 1901. The feast of the saint is held at the open-air altar under the huge protected old linden trees next to the chapel on 7th August each year.
In 2007, the mostly abandoned or neglected cellars in the Narrow-Horgas part of the Józan Valley in Győrújbarát were revived. The enthusiastic owners renovated and made the cellars beautiful and revived the custom of traditional cellars and winemaking. They have established a separate organization called the Cellar Culture Association of Győrújbarát over the years.

Wandering the Sokoró Hills (red)
Pannonhalma and its region are wonderful tourist destinations: after a visit to a historical building how about going for a hike in the Sokoró Hills. It would be a shame to miss it, go and see it for yourself!
In vino veritas - The youngest and with the longest history

Pilgrimage route in the Rye Island (Csallóköz)
The St. Mary Way is a network of pilgrimage routes across Central Europe, connecting the shrines of the Virgin Mary. The Way has two main axes: the pilgrimage route from west to east connects Mariazell in Austria with Șumuleu Ciuc (Csíksomlyó) in Transylvania. While the north-south pilgrimage route connects Czestochowa, the Pauline shrine of the Polish with Medjugorje in Bosnia. This branch is still under construction. So, the pilgrimage route St. Mary Way is still being built. The route of the hiking tour we offer is the same as the route of the future Marianka/Máriavölgy pilgrimage. The starting point of the pilgrimage is Báč/Bácsfa and the destination is Marianka (Bratislava). The total distance is 53 km, which can be covered in 3 days.
