8 Hungarian wines at Bortodoor, Budapest: 2-hour guided tasting with charcuterie, English sommelier, and a cozy downtown wine bar. $55.
“A really brilliant evening - we were in a group of 8 overall, a mix of solo travellers and pairs and had the best sommelier (Sally) guide us through 8 different wines. What should have been a 2h activity ended up lasting our whole evening as we enjoyed the place, the company and the wine so much. This was fun, information, casual, and surprisingly rewarding. If you have a dietary requirement just let them know; I recommend not booking anything afterwards so you can fully enjoy the experience.”

The tour included Hungarian Goulash, samples from various vendors at the Central Market, sausages, pickled vegetables, Lángos, chimney cakes, beer and Pálinka shots at locations across the city. Fanni was wonderful — she offered a real local’s perspective on the foods and the city. All in all, a great experience!”
