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).

Customer Testimonials

Living in Budapest, we first came to Taste Hungary for a friend’s birthday party and have been back many times. It’s a great place to take visitors and friends from abroad, some of whom have continued ordering from Taste Hungary when they get home. The cellar, with a vaulted brick ceiling, is cosy and atmospheric. Our favourite events are the Thursday winemaker dinners, with paired food and wine, and often a speaker from a vineyard to give background on the region and grapes, as well as add a family story. The staff are friendly, engaging, and ready to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for Hungarian wines.
FRASER & MARIA
Budapest has many stand-out memories, but perhaps the one that I will literally be able to take with me wherever I go, is discovering the wealth that is Hungarian wine. And for that I have to thank the crew at The Tasting Table. I found myself back in London again during the pandemic, which is how I know I’ll always be able to take Hungarian wine with me: The Tasting Table delivers! Tamás even specially ordered wine for me from some of my favourite winemakers, who I discovered during my many Tasting Table tastings.
AINE
I have visited The Tasting Table multiple times over the past several years, and it never disappoints! I recommend it to all my visitors and local friends because it provides such an excellent introduction to Hungary’s amazing wines. In addition to wine tours, Taste Hungary holds intimate tasting dinners with Hungarian winemakers to educate participants on their wines, the winemaking process, and the wide variety of Hungarian wines. The Instagram-worthy location in an old stone wine cellar is icing on the cake! I’m so excited that Taste Hungary now offers both a U.S. and European wine club, so my friends and family around the world can experience the terrific wines coming out of Hungary.
