Wine has been our shared experience for 35 years
The 35th Budapest Wine Festival has officially wrapped up after four unforgettable days and one spectacular anniversary celebration! One of the biggest additions this year was the Explorer ticket, offering half-price admission on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for visitors arriving by 5:00 PM. The wine programmes also got a fresh new twist, offering a playful, interactive way to learn more about wine, while the VinAgora Interactive Wine Area was buzzing throughout the festival. This year, the festival also took visitors further afield, with the Americas as the 2026 Guest of Honour. Alongside Hungary’s wine regions, New World wines took centre stage, with selections from the United States, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil bringing the flavours of the Americas to Buda Castle. The themed tastings offered a chance to explore and compare the continent’s diverse wine regions and styles side by side. And, of course, there was everything that brings Buda Castle Palace to life year after year: an abundance of wines and sparkling wines, a rich gastronomic selection, the magnificent setting and panorama, and that unforgettable festival atmosphere.

This year's event on photos
In 2025, the 34rd. Budapest wine festival, we were free to tour the constantly beautifying courtyards of the Buda Castle, where we could taste fantastic wines and dishes. For 4 wonderful days, we said goodbye to the summer together with our favorite wine in our hands. One of the most beautiful festivals in the country, but perhaps in Europe, this year awaited everyone with new squares and programs, of which beautiful photos were also taken.
The festival on video
During the day we enjoyed the summer sunshine, in the evening the pleasant autumn weather and the atmospheric scenery of the Buda Castle at the 34nd Budapest Wine Festival. We sampled a selection of quality wines, tasted gastronomic miracles and learned about the wine culture and traditional dishes of South Afrika, Australia and New Zeeland. We broadened our horizons with various professional programmes and, most importantly, we had a fantastic experience!
