eger

The Eger wine region, located in northern Hungary, is one of the country's most famous and historic wine-producing areas. Winemaking in Eger dates back to the Middle Ages, with a rich history that includes influences from various European viticultural traditions. 

Eger is renowned for its full-bodied red wines, particularly the legendary Egri Bikavér, also known as "Bull's Blood." Egri Bikavér is a blend, traditionally composed of Kékfrankos, Kadarka, and other local red grape varieties, offering a complex and robust flavor profile.

The region also produces high-quality white wines, with grape varieties such as Leányka, Hárslevelű, and Olaszrizling being prominent. The unique terroir of Eger, with its volcanic soils and favorable microclimate, contributes to the distinctive character of its wines. Eger is also known for its elegant, crisp white wines, including the popular Egri Csillag, a blend of indigenous and international white grape varieties.

The region's wine cellars, many of which are carved into the volcanic rock, provide ideal conditions for aging wines.

Eger hosts numerous wine festivals and events throughout the year, attracting both locals and tourists to celebrate its viticultural heritage.

Visitors to the Eger wine region can enjoy wine tastings, tours of historic cellars, and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the city’s iconic castle.
