Wine in Eger and Szepasszony-volgy, Eger

Egri Bikaver cellar-tour Saturday (Pinceszombat) ★ 4.4

Now in its ninth edition, this open-cellar Saturday sends visitors between multiple participating Eger cellars on a single shared tasting pass, pouring the freshly settled new vintage alongside older Bikaver verticals in the classic Hungarian pinceszombat (cellar Saturday) format.

Tip: Buy the shared tasting pass in advance where it is offered online; the event has a fixed number of passes and past editions have sold out ahead of the date.

Pinceszombat cellar-tour Saturday, late tasting rounds ★ 4.3

The annual October pinceszombat (cellar Saturday) keeps participating Eger cellars pouring on a single shared tasting pass into the evening, one of the few nights of the year when several cellars beyond Szepasszony-volgy stay open together after dark.

Wine focus: New-vintage barrel samples and Bikaver verticals across participating cellars

Tip: Later evening slots are quieter than the afternoon rush; buy the shared pass in advance since past editions have sold out.
