About The Budapest Wine Tasting Cruise:

Discover Budapest while sampling seven of Hungary's loveliest wine variants. This Danube wine tasting cruise departs at 14:00, 16:00, 19:00 and 22:00. It covers a sightseeing route stretching from the Széchenyi Chain Bridge to the Technical University.

Along the way you'll catch remarkable glimpses of Gellért Hill, the Citadel, Buda Castle and much more. These landmarks serve as the elegant backdrop to your onboard tasting activities. You'll be offered up a selection of tipples from various Hungarian organic wineries - including those from the renowned Tokaj region. After two sips from two different wines the hosts will provide a small scone to help reset your taste buds.
