Tours in Hungary
7. TOKAJ WINE REGION & EGER (full day)
Take this
one from Tours in Hungary, an excursion to the northern, hilly
part of the country.
During this tour in Hungary the first stop is in the city of Eger . It's
situated in a valley between the Mátra and Bükk mountains. One of the country's
most attractive Baroque cities, 100 - year old Episcopal seat - today an
archiepiscopal centre - with a glorious historical past and great historical
monuments. István Dobó, castellan, gave the town the title ,,patriotic town'' for
his month long resistance in1552 against Turkish forces which had a superiority
of 20 - times Dobo's small army. Eger is a town of medicinal baths, students
and also fine wines. The excellent reds and whites of this famous historical
wine region are served in wine cellars that have seen the passage of several 100
years. Another force also played a role in shaping the face of Eger, namely,
Bull's Blood, the legendary red wine, a cuvee of the merlot and kékfrankos
grape, which means that it taste varies sharply from cellar to cellar. In the
Valley of the Lovely Woman full wine cellars dug into the hillside, stand next
to each other in close succession.
The next stop is at Tokaj, in the centre of the Tokaj - Hegyalja historical
wine region (part of World Heritage) which provides the world - famous Tokaj

Rákoczi cellar with wine - tasting and home made lunch.
