I absolutely loved the wine cellar and the cellar tour. Had a really lovely experience. Went there on Saturday in the evening as part of the ‘Jó éjszakát Mád’ weekend and unfortunately already missed the last tour. The lady was super lovely and we had a lovely chat - she even offered me a glass of bubbly. I went back for the tour, which I was very much interests in as you can already see the production zone from the reception/wine shop with the big stainless steel barrels. Our guide explained everything in detail then he handed us a treasure hunt map through the vast cellar underground system - there was a family with children on the tour with us, they absolutely loved it. It’s a massive cave system, like a maze. Loved that they have a massive hall in the middle with an art installation that makes all sorts of sounds. It’s just all well thought through - the entire brand has so much inspiration, loved it. The wine is exquisite too. Well recommended! You need to book advance for a tour and they do it in...

It got to bad at one stage I had to say if you don't want me to say anything for the rest of the tour I'll just shut up.
It was a deeply unpleasant and unprofessional experience. We didn't come all the way from Australia to be talked to like idiots when we were interested in your wines. It's awful to see someone be so rude and smug to your mother in front of you as well.
The experience at Zsirai was better so would recommend to go...
Read moreThis was our absolute favorite part of the wine region. Mád is a beautiful country town and Holdvölgy is the gem. The grounds are gorgeous as you arrive and the experience was incredible. We tasted 3 drys and 3 sweets and our only regret is not having enough room in our luggage to take them all home! Our guide was very knowledgeable, interesting, fun and approachable. The treasure hunt element especially was such a fun touch. How cool to navigate through tunnels! The art installation also elevated our experience. We went to other wineries and this was our favorite. Amazing wines, good prices and an amazing experience. Highly...
