Cheers to the Riviere's Part 2!
Things To Do
Sabár Borház - Wine Tasting
Really peaceful place to try some local wines overlooking the vineyards and surrounding hills.
Gilvesy Winery - Wine Tasting
This vineyard tucked away in Mount Saint George has a goal to authentically preserve and express the unique character of the mountain in their wines.
Villa Tolnay Borház - Wine Tasting
This vineyard has a fantastic view with wonderful wines and very nice owners and staff! We warmly recommend visiting the place!
Pláne Badacsony Borterasz - Wine Tasting
A perfect little place for some wine tasting. The staff here is really friendly and very experienced in the local Hungarian wine culture.
Kővirág - Restaurant
Truly outstanding food in a friendly, upscale but not too stiff atmosphere. The food is an innovative interpretation of Hungarian flavors. They have an amazing garden seating in the summer with a great wine selection.
Villa Kabala - Restaurant
Perched high up the hillside in the Badacsony region, with far-reaching views of Lake Balaton, this Michelin-recommended restaurant is a must-visit. Go for the well-balanced tasting menu and paired wines. For table booking please call +36702861113
Neked Főztem - Restaurant
This cute local restaurant constantly ranks among the top 100 restaurants in Hungary and is mostly in the top 10 on the list of rural restaurants. We hope that you will have a delicious meal at this outstanding restaurant!
Csendes Dűlő Szőlőbirtok - Recommend to Stop By
Breathtaking views from on top of the hill from this little vineyard and guest house. It is located only a brief walk away from the Folly Arboretum, making it the perfect afternoon snack spot.
Kő Fagyi - Ice Cream Shop
You can't miss it, a stone dragon marks the place with ice cream in its paws. Mango ice cream and rosé are two of our favorites: one makes you feel like you're in the tropics, and the other feels like you're cooling off in the heat with a splash of rosé.
Káli-Kapocs - For an Afternoon Snack
Great food, fast and kind service, and a lovely laid-back atmosphere. The owner is friendly and talks to everybody with a big welcome, (English is not a problem). They have different menus every day, based on what the local market offers.
Káli Cool - For an Afternoon Snack
This very quaint place has a retro interior with delicious coffee and pastries. Of course, just like any place around the Balaton, you can always find a good afternoon beer too!
Open Air Market: Liliomkert piac
The biggest local farmers' market with stalls selling handicrafts & antiques, plus cured meats & specialty food. Open only on Sunday Mornings from 7 am until 2 pm!
Folly Arboretum and Winery
Tour the beautiful arboretum with cedar & cypress trees, and with the bonus views of Lake Balaton.
Tapolcai-Tavasbarlang - Cave with Subterranean Lake
Winding, 300m underground limestone cave system navigable by boat along a subterranean lake. (The tour is only in Hungarian but all the info on the walls is in German, English and Hungarian).
