Hungarian Wine Cruise Budapest

Choose the Wine Cruise in Budapest to enjoy a relaxing boat ride with a 7 tier Hungarian wine in the city while sightseeing on the scenic river Danube. The cruise is a 2 hour boat ride from 8pm (guests can go aboard from 7pm).

After all that walking and tiring sightseeing, it is time to wind down with some of the best Hungarian wine and good vibes.

Do not miss the best sights of Budapest with fine wine tastes: the Danube river cruise in the city with lovely Hungarian wines.

Budapest Wine Tasting on the Danube

You can carry on Budapest sightseeing with some nice wines in your hand.

The Wine Cruise in Budapest offers a 2-hour wine tasting & cruising with 7 local wines and wine varieties at a very reasonable price.

No Wine Speeches but 7 Wines!

Wine Tasting Cruise Budapest

Wine Tasting Cruise Budapest

Please note that the wine tasting cruise does not include wine expert speeches, and lectures about Hungarian wines. Instead, you can take your glass, and get the wines that intrigue you: enjoy and taste some of the representative wine varieties in Hungary, like the Hungaricum wines, Juhfark (Sheep’s Tail) or Cserszegi Fuszeres (Spicy from Cserszeg) white wines – only in Hungary.

Hop on board of the Wine Tasting cruising ship on the river Danube in Budapest, cruising to the north and to the south, floating past all those beautiful attractions you see on Budapest postcards, and under all the elegant historical bridges (many of them UNESCO world heritage sites, like the Buda Castle Royal Palace, the Hungarian Parliament, etc.).

The Budapest Wine Cruise can be booked online. The weekend cruises and summer cruises are especially popular, so book in advance if you are on a weekend getaway, or on a summer holiday.

Juhfark is a Hungarian White Wine resembling the aroma of quince. Juhfark wine got its name of the cylindrical shaped grapes (Juhfark means Sheep’s tail). Juhfark is one of the oldest Hungarian white grape varieties, but its origins are hotly debated (perhaps originating from Hungary, but some claim it comes from Austria or Styria, known as Lämmerschwantz white wine). In Hungary, Juhfark wines are mostly produced in the Somlo wine region. Somlo (Schomlau) is a sunny, hilly area in the north-western counties of Vas and Veszprem, where the lands are on an extinct volcano – once the region boasted large vineyards of rich Hungarian aristocrats, now the wine plots are smallish, mostly family size. Somlo is one of the excellent wine regions, rivalling with the Tokaj wine region, which has become internationally acclaimed. Juhfark is considered to be the wine of honeymoons.

Cserszegi Fuszeres is a Hungarian white wine with spicy and muscat aromas. This Hungaricum wine was made from the hybrid grape variety created in the 1960s at the Hungarian Pannon University of Agriculture. Cserszegi Fuszeres is between the Hungarian Muscat character table wine called Irsai Olivér, and the Roter Traminer (the latter of which is a member of the Traminer family closely related to Gewürztraminer, which literally means Spiced Traminer, typical variety in South Austria and Northern Italy)

Wine Cruise Budapest Danube

Chardonnay does not need much introduction, being a world grape variety. The originally Burgundy wine from France is also grown in many wine regions in Hungary, much appreciated by locals who love white wines and local flavors.

Cabernet Franc is also a widely known wine spreading from southwest France: a popular red wine mostly blending Cabernet Savignon with Merlot, making it lighter than Cabernet Savignon. The most popular Cabernet Franc wines – full bodied and tannic – are from the Szekszard and Villany regions in Hungary. The Cabernet Franc you can try is of the Szajki Organic Winery with a good body (a high extract wine), with fruity, velvety aromas.

Zierfandler (in Hungarian Cirfandli) is a white wine most probably a successful cross between Roter Veltliner (believed to be a very old Austrian variety, especially from Donauland / Danube Land), and another white wine, maybe Traminer. In Hungary, Cirfandli is exclusively grown in the southern hills called Mecsek. Despite the similarity of the names, Cirfandli is not like the Californian Zinfandel. Some of the years of Cirfandli are excellent! Szajki Zierfandler has earned many local and regional awards for its excellence. Do try it!

Rose Cuvee is made by blending more wines making a dry rose variety: e.g. one of the rose cuvees in Hungary is made from the mixture of Blue Franc (50%), Merlot (25%) and the Hungarian Kadarka wine (25%) with deep aroma, another, e.g. the Teleki Villany Rose Cuvee (Hungarian Golden Award in 2011) is made from Zweigelt and Merlot. The light and versatile Rose Cuvee on the Wine Cruise is from the sub-Mediterranean region in southern Hungary, where the Szajki organic winery is (Hars Family Bio Wine Cellar). Their Rose Cuvee is a fruity and acidic blend, with a stronger body (its alcohol content is 13%), which can be easily matched with many meals, and is a pleasure as a stand alone wine for conversations. The predominant aromas are of strawberry and Mediterranean berries.

The pick up point of the Budapest Wine Tasting river cruise is close to the Chain Bridge, but the exact location of the pier changes from cruise to cruise depending on availabilities and the traffic on the Danube. One thing is sure though: we always leave from the city center of Budapest for your convenience. More details about the ship, and the port is given – based on your chosen date – in your confirmation email (the cruise ticket). Please print out your online tickets as proof of payment.

Embarking Time: Cruise guests are kindly asked to arrive 30 min before the wine cruise ship leaves the city central pier.

    Hi!

    I’d like to book some tickets only for the wine tasting. We’re a group of 16 people who will be in Budapest during 15/2-17/2 for a business trip. On saturday we’d like to go to that wine cellars in the Buda Castle during the night around 7-8 AM. Is it possible to only book the wine tasting part?

    Kindly regards, Michelle

      Hello Emily, there is a fix meeting point 5 min walk from the river. The Budapest River Cruise ends on the same place where it starts from, close to the Chain Bridge (Lanchid) in Budapest city center. Hope we can welcome you aboard!
