Located directly underneath the Buda Castle are the Faust wine cellars. They are a great place to visit if you are a wine enthusiast. Hungary may be known for its fantastic beers, but the wines you can find in the Faust cellars come from the country’s 22 wine regions and are certainly spectacular as well. While you’re there, you can also try the traditional Hungarian liquor called palinka. This strong fruit drink is typically made out of pears, peach, apricots, plums, apples, and sour cherries. It tends to vary between 37.5% and 86% ABV (alcohol per volume), making it an incredibly strong drink.

Reviews

• “This wine tasting was absolutely and everything one could have asked for. Great wines from interesting and personal locations in Hungary, small vineyards with limited production. Great atmosphere in the old cellar, a bit hard to find though. The guy really knew what he was talking about and you could feel that he had a passion for it. The wines themselves were an interesting mix of flavor and the scones were also delicious.”
