Five Days of Wine Haze at the Budapest Wine Festival

The biggest autumn wine festival in Budapest, the 18th International Budapest Wine Festival, will kick off tomorrow and run until Sunday and as in previous years, the event will be held at the Buda Castle with the participation of 250 wine producers from 15 countries all over Hungary. And this year’s honorary guest is the Catalan Freixenet Group, which will bring the Spanish cava sparkling wine to Budapest, as well as wines from some of Spain’s top regions. Programs at the festival will include 60 cultural events, a charity wine auction on September 17, and a gala concert at the Palace of Arts the following day. That’s 120 cultural events if you are seeing double.
