General presentation
Tokaj and Zemplén
Historical vineyards of Tokaj, confluence of Tisza and Bodrog, hills of Zemplen, wine villages and castles of the north-east.
To understand what Tokaj and Zemplen are, you have to look at Tokaj, Mád and Sárospatak. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by the countryside, the riverscapes, the heritage and the mountain reliefs and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. To anticipate also: tastings to organize and quieter winter. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

World Heritage
Paysage culturel historique de la région viticole de Tokaj
In Tokaj, the hillsides, the cellars dug in the tuff and the wine villages form a landscape entirely linked to the sweet wines of the region. Interest is found both in the vineyards and underground, in the fresh galleries where the drums age behind walls covered with noble mould.
Town or village
Tokaj
Tokaj It is located at the confluence of the Tisza and Bodrog, at the foot of hills covered with vineyards. The city lives around its cellars and its sweet wines, but also its walks along the water, where the landscape seems more riveric than strictly wine-making.
Town or village
Mád
Mád is one of the most cared wine villages in the Tokaj, with cellars, restored houses, remarkable synagogue and rows of vines on the nearby slopes. The stage is suitable for lovers of quiet tasting, away from the docks of Tokaj, in a very busy campaign.
Town or village
Sárospatak
Sárospatak The fortress of the Rákóczi, with its red walls and courtyards, is the starting point of the city's forested and wine-growing excursions to the north-east of Hungary. The town is also the centre of the city.
