Badacsony wine terraces: 13 places on the hill and around it
Panoramic terraces, tasting bars and family cellars around Badacsony, Tóti Hill, Csobánc and Szent György Hill. With a map, filters and opening tips.
Badacsony and its neighbouring volcanic buttes make up one of the best-known wine regions around Lake Balaton, with Olaszrizling, Kéknyelű and Szürkebarát grown on basalt. This selection brings together terraces, wine bars and cellars where a good wine comes with a good setting and, in most cases, good food.
Most places open seasonally, while a few welcome guests every day of the year. Use the filter to pick places with a view, places open all year or those run by their own winery. The groups follow geography, not a ranking.
