While others eat goulash and paprikash, we hunt for truffles, trample grapes with bare feet and collect wild plants for a master class with a Michelin-star chef.
I will show you Hungarian Tuscany and take you to taste Tokaji that you will never find elsewhere. I will feed you dishes that kings and presidents had, because I know the chef who personally cooked for them.

Hungary has 22 wine regions, more than France. Thanks to its favorable location, its territory produces wines of both the northern (dry, mineral white, sparkling wines) and southern types (aged, tannic). There are plenty to choose from.
In Hungary there are both traditional winemakers and now fashionable naturals and biodynamists who champion biodiversity and sustainable development. Some of them age wines accompanied by classical music, while others age wines in amphorae. But it can't be done without stories.
We love adventure, so we go not just to taste, but to trample grapes under our feet, rivet barrels in a cooperage workshop, or pick Asu grapes.
If you don't have much time, then the Nesmey wine region is an excellent choice.

Feedback
- CatherineIt seems to me that Mary can control everything in Hungary. I would call her the Budapest Sorceress. Because any desire, request, issue was resolved as if by a wave of a magic wand. Maria opened wonderful restaurants for us where we can taste the best Hungarian dishes and wines.... After which we can confidently say that Budapest is one of the best places for conducting gastronomic tours.
- TatianaShe walked with us for kilometers, ate and tasted... picked strawberries and elderberries early in the morning, deep-fried them... introduced us to interesting Hungarians and non-Hungarians, puzzled over Rubik's puzzles, translated (it turned out that she was also learning Chinese !) - and this in just 3 days... Mashenka, next time I’ll definitely be with you!
- AntonMaria, she's not just Maria. Our production team has worked with many wonderful people around the world. But never before have we had the desire to take a specialist (guide, translator, expert in local customs and everything else) with us. Amazing competence, wonderful character, enviable performance. She knows everyone, and everyone knows her.
- AlexandraMasha is a person who turns everything she touches into beauty. She is a journalist, gastro guide and taster of the most delicious food and wine in Hungary. In general, an extremely useful acquaintance :)
- CatherineI really enjoyed the tour with Masha. The trip was well organized and we did not have a minute wasted. Everything was accompanied by cheerful conversations and laughter, but at the same time I took with me a wealth of knowledge and impressions! And of course a lot of photographs for memory. Therefore, I’m looking forward to the next tour, and I advise everyone who has not joined yet to go on a gastronomic excursion with Masha!
- JuliaHunting for the white truffle - the king and star of restaurants. Previously, for me it was something from another world; I never thought that I would be able to see the collection process myself. I would like to express my deep gratitude for this idea and its excellent implementation. Our group had many questions - why exactly dogs are involved in the extraction, how they are trained, how they grow and what is the value of mushrooms, how to store them, cook them.... And we received comprehensive answers, as well as an unforgettable walk through the secret forest, communication with dogs and meeting interesting people.
