Wine Tasting in Tokaj, Hungary
A small family winery, personal wine tastings and authentic Tokaj experiences in the heart of Tarcal.
We put experience into the glass.
Discover Tokaj. One glass at a time.
Discover Tokaj’s Specialities
The Unique Treasures of Tokaj
Tokaj is home to some of the world’s most distinctive sweet wines.
At Szedmák Winery, you can taste Tokaji Aszú, Tokaji Essencia and selected special vintages – exceptional wines that reflect the unique traditions, character and natural conditions of the Tokaj Wine Region.
These are wines to slow down for. Made in limited quantities and shaped by time and nature, each bottle tells a different story of Tokaj and its vintages.
For many of our guests, tasting these unique Tokaji specialities becomes one of the most memorable moments of their visit.
A Family Winery in Tarcal
On the slopes of Kopasz Hill, among the historic cellars of Tarcal, you will find Szedmák Winery – a small family winery that is also our home.
Our story with wine began more than 30 years ago. As a first-generation winemaking family, we have built our winery around a deep respect for the vineyards, the traditional grape varieties of Tokaj and the unique character of this extraordinary wine region.
Today we cultivate 3.8 hectares of vineyards, including our Deák and Sajgó vineyards. Our vines grow on the characteristic volcanic and loess soils of the region, and we work with varieties including Furmint, Hárslevelű, Yellow Muscat, Zéta, Kabar and Zengő.
Our philosophy is simple: respect the vineyard, make wines with character, and create more than a tasting. We want to put an experience in every glass.
More Than a Wine Tasting
For us, welcoming guests is as important as making wine.
A tasting at Szedmák is personal and informal. We like to sit down together, open a few bottles and share not only the wines, but also the stories behind them.
Depending on the season, you might enjoy your tasting on our terrace, beside a warm fire, in our cellar 13 metres below ground, or among the vines overlooking the landscape of Tokaj.
We welcome couples, families, groups of friends and private groups. Children and dogs are welcome too.
Come as a guest, discover Tokaj with us, and leave as a friend.
Wine tastings
Discover the Many Faces of Tokaj
There is much more to Tokaj than its world-famous sweet wines.
Our tastings introduce you to the diversity of the region – from fresh, dry Furmint and aromatic Hárslevelű to late-harvest wines, noble botrytis and the legendary Tokaji Aszú. For guests who would like to go deeper, we can also open selected Tokaji Essencia and exceptional older vintages from our cellar, subject to availability.
No previous wine knowledge is needed. Just bring your curiosity.
