Many of this neighborhood’s charms are obvious—the architecture is stunning, the many universities add a unique vibrancy, the history is ever-present, and there are plenty of cool cafés, art galleries, and shops. This neighborhood is justly a favorite for international film shoots (who use it as a standby for other locales), and hardly a week goes by that there’s not a film being shot on these streets.
When we are not eating and drinking, we’ll stroll through the elegant area which lies between the inner and outer ring roads—including the gardens of the National Museum, where aristocrats built their palatial homes in the 19th and early 20th centuries (the golden age of Budapest), and café-lined streets with more Bohemian vibes. As per our usual style, our evening of exploration will combine food and drinks, with historical and cultural stories about the buildings and people important to the neighborhood.
Come wine and dine in this most special part of Budapest with us!

A very enjoyable evening . We started off with a tutored tasting of 3 excellent Hungarian wines with Carlo( sp?,) a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic sommelier, accompanied with cheese, sausage and something new to us, bread dipped in pumpkin seed oil. Anika ( sp?) led us on the tour of the Palace district of Pest with an excellent historical and social commentary. We visited a pub in the student district for a froccs, a charming patio restaurant for goulash and a generous charcuterie platter with accompanying wines, a Palinka bar and finished the evening at the historical Astoria cafe for a lovely dessert platter. This was a walking tour, and having just arrived in Budapest, we found this a very pleasant way to help get over jet lag

Wonderful experience. Wine tasting, appetizers, and history of Hungarian wines at their shop and then walking tour with food and wine stops in the Palace district with a dinner stop and then a dessert/coffee stop. Fantastic!

The tour is another fun and fulfilling activity from Taste Hungary--we've done four over two trips to Budapest. It starts with a mini-lesson and tasting of Hungarian wine and cheeses in their tasting room, then out for soup at a tiny counter, a visit to a ruins bar for a drink and tour, a trip around the synagogue, an entree at a traditional restaurant, and finally dessert and coffee in a historic coffee house. The guide provided us interesting information on the architecture and buildings in the area, history, and a view into Hungarian culture via their food and drink. An evening well spent and everyone went home well fed.

We have lived in Budapest for the last four years - on the same road as the Tasting Table store and cellar (part of Taste Hungary).
We got to meet Gabor, Carolyn and many of the staff over the years and attended various tasting events - they've never let us down.
In July 2024, we had a friend visting us in Budapest and decided it would be fun to try the wine walk and tour of our neighbourhood. Again, an excellent experience. Our tour guide, Sarlotta was very knowledgeable and a really fun, cool person. We learned a lot of new things about the Palace quarter. Wine & food great, as always!

Original food and friendliness. Had a little too much history of city. Guide was very friendly. He knew his way about town.

This was a great way to see the city and get the high points of the places to go. We were able to taste the Hungarian dishes and finish with the traditional Hungarian desserts.

What a great combination - we were lucky enough to have one guide between the two of us, she made the night, very knowledgeable, fun and took us to the largest ruin bar on the way past too - highly recommend. I booked a wine tasting for tomorrow evening for my mum and daughter but didn't realise there's a discount for returning customers so look out for that if it applies
