Hungary’s hidden gem
In the enchanting region along the northern shore of Lake Balaton, a sudden swirl off the main road leading into a deep forest suddenly reveals a gateway to a distant world in seclusion. Passing through a picturesque village and up on a hill overlooking golden fields, a bewildering light is cast by a simmering sunset. This first sight was etched into a father and son’s memory as they gazed in silence in a moment of reverence until an equally stunning stary night presented itself soon after. Our fate was sealed without hesitation or word. This moment in the summer of 2000 was to become the start of an almost impossible journey. A story had begun.
A long forgotten ruin was left in neglected state for years waiting for new life.
Old stems were removed, grounds rested and newly planted French clones found their new home.
The 'virgin' harvest comes to be as both Liszkay's overlook and meticulously select their first blue grape jewels.
Encapsulating more than a century old cellar, construction begins nearly 7 years later (2010) on a newly built winery.
Doors open in 2012.
From here the rest is history as thousands of memories and experiences unfold.
With more commonalities than one might expect among family relationships, food, wine, and crafting memorable experiences are deeply ingrained in both father an son, fostering the cherished moments that have captivated our guests.
