Basilicus Borkultúra Központ — Attraction in Tokaji járás

This was my second visit to the Basilicus winery .. my last was in January of 2024. Not only do I very much like many of wines produced here, but I also think that free-lance winery sommelier Gergely is one of the best in the business that I have ever encountered. His enthusiasm and knowledge is without bounds. He also offered delivering my purchases to the guest house where I stayed in Tokaj since I rode a bicycle to the tasting (for obvious reasons). What amazing service all around! Since I usually travel to Tokaj by car from my home in France, I was able to purchase dozens of bottles of various wines. One of these from 2014 I had tried last year, and this time I bought all of the stock still available (16 bottles) because it is a very unique Aszu and also was very reasonably priced. I can highly recommend this tasting experience.

Well, if you are serious about tasting wine you really shouldn't have anything to eat as it will change the way you experience the wines depending on what cheese or salami you have just put...

Out of five winetasting in two days in Tokaj, this was the only place I actually did buy some wines. And not because the wines at other wineries were worse. It s all about the experience. The host, Andras, who is also the winemaker, was very personalble, experienced and also very knowlegable. We enjoyed every minute, we spent in this beautiful winery. The tasting was outdoor, with a phenomenal view, and beautiful, small production wines. Adding to the tasting an unknow and fresh tokaj redwine, a bit similar to PN, was real gem. Thank you again for your great hospitality, hope to...

We had a brilliant experience here in Basilicus back in 2022 with the lovely English-speaking sommelier. The wines were of very high quality and we consequently bought 4 different bottles to take home. Furthermore, the fact that having our (well-behaved) then-5-month-old with us was absolutely no problem for them was a huge relief, as not all wineries we've visited since we became parents have been so accommodating. (Though, now she's 3, and a handful, I'm unsure if she'd be so welcome if we were to visit any time...
