Connecting Wine Lover’s with Hungary’s Unique Small-Batch Wine
Every Wine Tells a Story
Hungary’s 22 wine regions, each with its own terroir and style, have many fascinating (and delicious) tales to tell. Our mission is to seek out these wine stories, and we are happy to share them with wine-lover’s in the United States!
Our wines are made by winemakers who respect their terroir and local traditions. Our selection reflects our fascination with Hungary’s native grape varieties (some of which are only grown on a few hectares), and our appreciation for smaller wineries doing great things with minimal intervention. Running our wine shop in a dynamic wine-producing country allows us to frequently visit our winemakers to get to know their vineyards, learn their winemaking philosophies, and taste with them in their cellars. This is how we choose these unique wines to import to the US.

Join Our Wine Club
Our wine club is the only wine club devoted exclusively to Hungarian wine. Every quarter we curate a new selection of Hungarian wines to ship to our club members. Shipments feature a curated selection of six different wines (which is doubled for magnum club members), revolving around a unifying theme. We meet new Hungarian wines every day in our Budapest wine shop and during our travels through Hungary. Introducing them to our curious club members is a joy.
About Us
It all started with a book. In 2008 Carolyn published her first book on Hungarian food and wine. That year Carolyn and Gábor started Taste Hungary (a food and wine tour company), and the first clients were readers of the book. Their interest (and obsession) with wine grew, and so did general interest in learning about and tasting Hungarian wine. They opened The Tasting Table Cellar in Budapest’s Palace District in 2014 (and later they opened a wine shop across the street). Along the way the team expanded to include fantastic tour guides, sommeliers, and a keen chef. Their wine import company (founded in 2019) is headquartered in Washington DC (Carolyn’s hometown).
