Tokaj Delicacies

Tokaj Delicacies @Tokaj-Hegyalja Piac on Sunday 14th September from 10 til 4 @Disznókő, Tokaj
see traditional grape varieties, learn to weave baskets, watch a wood carver at work, take a ride on a horse and trap around the vineyards...
And the usual live music, estate and cellar visit, Sárga Borház Vendéglő special market menu, play area and horse riding, as well as all the artisans bringing quality products.

Wine and soda or cordial?

And bar with Róbert Péter of Ábrahám Winery, Erdőbénye - for a touch of philosophy with your wine. Does wine not always inspire? Is that not what we love so much about it?

Tokaj’s Hidden Treasures: The same, but different: Tokaj, Tállya and Tökösmál

After two years of leading thematic wine tastings (grape variety, vineyard, town/village) at the Tokaj-Hegyalja Market, well-known wine author and photographer László Alkonyi shared his recently released wines from his new venture, Kaláka Winery.

Based in the village of Tállya, and with the help of sheep and goats, he is tending vineyards and giving wonderful photo-report of events. And, this Sunday, people were able to finally taste the fruits of his labours. Thank you László, for all your time and effort :)

Tokaj’s Hidden Treasures
The same, but different: Tokaj, Tállya and Tökösmál

The same, but different:
Tállya is mystical.
Tállya is beautiful.
Tállya is unknown.
Tállya? We want to know it better!
At the wine tasting: the special wines of Kaláka Winery.

As László Alkonyi has started his own winery, releasing his own wines, the format of the wine tastings at the market will change somewhat.
We will invite winemakers to bring and present their own wines and, here to start the ball rolling, is László, the man who has taught us so much about the importance, character and questions related to the dűlő (vineyards) and their classification.

Welcome back to László with his new hat on!!

Tokaj - sweet natured! - wine tasting and course with László Alkonyi

@TOKAJ-HEGYALJA MARKET @14.00 on Sunday 9th March 2014
In the function room above the Sárga Borház restaurant

Sweet naturalness: the sought-after heritage of Tokaj
The quest for the aszú berry (noble rot and shrivelled grapes that become even more concentrated on the vine) - the soul of the great Tokaji sweet wines - means that in some vintages three to four passages (or tries) are made through the vineyards to collect these precious berries. The botrytis concentrates all that is created in the grape, its essence and value: alongside the sugar is acidity, tannins and aroma compounds, setting the foundation for naturally sweet wines.

At the wine tasting this Sunday: Disznókő and Patrícius late harvest and Aszú wines.
Just look at this wine flight for a treat!
