Wines and spirits Budapest

This wine store, near the Chain Bridge, was the first to open in Budapest in 1992. Its owner, Csaba Malatinszky, one of the pioneers of modern Magyar winemaking, was Hungary's first sommelier. He produces his own wines in Villány, in the south of Hungary, which he sells exclusively in his shop in Budapest. The selection is not large, but the wines (including several vintages) are certainly of high quality. You can also buy pálinka there. He is not the one to receive guests, but his perfectly English-speaking employees.

Don't forget to stop by the adorable cellar of Carolyn and Gábor, a Hungarian-American couple, to (re)stock your cellar with excellent Magyar wines, including a very nice selection of wines from the Tokaj region (everything is provided, including the bubble wrap). We will take advantage of this opportunity to slip into his suitcase an assortment of condiments around paprika such as paprika powder, smoked paprika, hot sauce ... For those who would not have the space in their suitcase, the delivery is assured in all the countries of the EU!

A visit to this store is a must to discover an essential part of the Hungarian culture: the pálinka. Titrating in the 50 degrees, this fruit distillate is drunk on all occasions, including breakfast. This store in Budapest is not far from being its temple! The precious brandy is available in various variations (cherry, cherry, pear, apricot, apple, plum, quince, grape ...), formats (0.35 l or smaller bottles) and producers. The only problem is that the staff is not always English-speaking, but that has changed a little.

You will find a selection of more than 500 of the best Hungarian wines with the possibility to accompany the tasting with cheese/meat boards. This French-speaking wine shop also offers live music and the "Wine Casino", a unique concept in Budapest. This is one of the most complete wine collections in Hungary! Visits to wineries as well as worldwide home delivery are also possible
