Description

Leave the bustle of Budapest behind and explore the countryside on a relaxed cycling tour to the Etyek wine region, often called the city’s vineyard. Hop on your bike and begin riding through gentle hills, quiet country roads and rows of vineyards that define this scenic area. As you cycle at an easy pace, you’ll experience the calm rhythm of rural life, with plenty of time to enjoy the landscape and stop for photos. Along the way, your guide will share stories about the region’s history, winemaking traditions and local culture, bringing the area to life beyond the scenery. The highlight of the tour is a visit to a local winery, where you’ll enjoy a guided wine tasting featuring several regional varieties. You’ll learn about the winemaking process, sample fresh, characterful wines and discover why Etyek is especially known for its crisp whites and sparkling wines. The experience is rounded off with a delicious meal made from local ingredients, served in a welcoming winery setting. After relaxing, eating and enjoying the wines, you’ll return feeling refreshed, having experienced a perfect blend of cycling, culture and gastronomy just outside Budapest.
