Tasty drinks at the Market

Enjoying a moment...

Cheers!

And plenty of beautiful, fruit-filled cordials...

And even a few bubbles...

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?

Picnic with Gönci apricots anyone?

Funky picnic cutlery...

 And more fresh fruit...

Sun smiles on Celebration of the Flowering Vine

And what better way to arrive to a handcraft market than by bike in gorgeous summer sun...

to inspect the flowering vine (and imagine what the vintage of 2014 may promise)

Before chilling out on the terrace in the shade of the chestnut trees after some intense shopping ...

Or having a little dance, 

Or pony ride through the vineyard...

Or a moment in music

And admiring all forms of flowers...

Kati created some wonderful arrangements...

Thanks - as always - to László and his colleagues at Szerencsi TV for all their time, wonderful photos and videos of the market :)

Celebration of the Flowering Vine - Sunday 8th June

Celebration of the flowering grape

Thre are many moments in the year that remind us of the cyclical nature that surrounds us. In the Tokaj Wine Region the grape flowering is certainly among these key events. Visitors to the Tokaj-Hegyalja Market this Sunday 8th June will have the chance to see the spectacular vine flowers in various stages of maturity...

And it's an exciting weekend to be in the region with the St Elisabeth Days in Sárospatak and the Tokaj Wine Festival in, maybe not unsurprisingly, Tokaj! Not forgetting the Cooper's Days in Erdőbénye too!
