Folly in Badacsonyörs combines an arboretum, family winery and panoramic restaurant. After a walk among cedars and cypresses, continue your visit with Balaton wines, seasonal dishes and views over the lake.

Important: the restaurant is inside the arboretum, so an arboretum admission ticket is required even if you are mainly coming to eat. Opening hours and kitchen ordering times may change with the seasons.

Worth a taste

A seasonal dish paired with Folly wine

The real strength is that the estate wines, garden and kitchen are all parts of the same family story.

Local tip

Allow for the admission ticket

An arboretum ticket is required for the restaurant too; arrive at least an hour early to leave time for the garden and views.

How to put your meal together

  1. 01
    A light seasonal starter

    A fresh beginning that still leaves you comfortable for a walk around the arboretum.

  2. 02
    The current main course

    Ask for an estate wine alongside it; Balaton flavours and the cellar's wines work best together.

  3. 03
    Folly wine or a lavender refreshment

    Finish your visit on the panoramic terrace with an estate wine or a homemade cordial.
