Buda Castle Wine Festival 2025 – wine experiences at Aranybástya

The Buda Castle Wine Festival attracts thousands of wine enthusiasts to the Buda Castle every year. The atmosphere of the festival, held in a historic setting, is unparalleled: open-air wine tastings, live music and the best Hungarian wineries await visitors. It is no coincidence that the Buda Castle Wine Festival 2025 will be one of the most anticipated events of the season this year as well.

The Aranybástya Restaurant is located in the immediate vicinity of the event, making it the perfect choice for those looking for an elegant, panoramic wine tasting experience alongside the festival experience. Our restaurant is located in the heart of Buda Castle, offering a magnificent view of the city: an ideal place to enjoy a glass of wine.

Aranybástya wine selection – classics and specialities

The Aranybástya drink menu offers a wide selection of wines, including iconic items from Hungarian wine culture as well as rarer specialities. Some favourites worth mentioning are:

1. Egri Bikavér

The pride of the Eger wine region, with a famous legend attached to it. During the siege, Hungarian soldiers bravely drank the red wine, which the Turks mistakenly believed to be “bull’s blood”, thinking that it would make the warriors stronger. The basis of Bikavér is mostly Kékfrankos and Kadarka, supplemented with other native grape varieties. A characterful, full-bodied wine that can be an excellent accompaniment to an elegant dinner.

2. Tokaj wines

The Tokaj wine region is one of the most famous wine regions in the world and is rightly famous for its unique winemaking traditions. The Aranybástya Restaurant offers Szamorodni (in dry and sweet versions), Tródő and Málás, as well as the world-famous Tokaji Aszú and Eszencia. These wines are not only the pinnacle of gastronomy, but also preserve our cultural heritage
