The Söptei family’s cellar restaurant in Csopak is for anyone wishing to experience dinner in the Balaton Uplands alongside wines made locally. Its peaceful terrace, family-style hospitality and seasonal cooking together define the venue.

Ask for wine recommendations with your dishes: Olaszrizling and the other Csopak wines are part of the experience here, not merely supporting players. Opening hours change seasonally, so always check the current schedule before setting out.

Local tip
