Description
The Experience
Step back in time as you meet your driver in Balatonfüred and climb aboard our beautifully restored 1980 retro semi-cabriolet DAF bus. Leave the driving to us while you soak in over 2,000 years of winemaking heritage, taste internationally acclaimed wines, and take in the breathtaking panoramic landscapes of the Balaton region.
How It Works
We handle the logistics so you can focus on the wine. Choose your adventure from two distinct, expertly curated routes:
Wednesday & Thursday: "Régi Barátok" (Old Friends) – Exploring Balatonfüred, Aszófő, Pécsely, Balatonszőlős, Csopak, Lovas, and Paloznak.
Friday & Saturday: "Rejtett Kincsek" (Hidden Gems) – Discovering Balatonfüred, Aszófő, Pécsely, Vászoly, Mencshely, Óbudavár, Balatoncsicsó, Szentantalfa, and Tagyon-hegy.
Flexible Freedom
The bus completes a full scenic circuit approximately every two hours.
Hop-On Hop-Off: If you start at 11:00 AM, you have the flexibility to hop off at four different stops for deep dives into specific estates.
Scenic Loop: Prefer to stay on board? Enjoy the entire circuit for a relaxing afternoon of vineyard views and onboard commentary.
Convenience: Our bus passes the starting point in Balatonfüred every two hours, allowing you to tailor the length of your trip. For those indulging in the full experience, the final return to Balatonfüred is at approximately 9:00–9:30 PM.
Curated Access
Many of our partner estates are intimate, family-run vineyards not typically open to the public. This is your exclusive pass to meet the winemakers and experience the "secret" side of Balaton that most tourists never see.
Important Note
Our partner wineries are independent, family-run estates with varying hours. To ensure the best experience, you will receive a detailed list of all wineries open on the day of your trip exactly 24 hours before your journey begins. Whether you're here for a professional tasting, a leisurely vineyard lunch, or simply a glass of wine with a view, you can enjoy every drop without the worry of driving home.
