The Hungary wine map shows all wine growing areas of Hungary. This wine regions map of Hungary will allow you to easily localize all appellations and main grape varieties in Hungary in Eastern Europe. The Hungary vineyards map is downloadable in PDF, printable and free.

Hungary most famous wine region lies in the foothills of the Zemplén Mountains of the far north of the country - in fact the traditional area crosses into the southeast corner of modern Slovakia as you can see in Hungary wine map. The area is notable for its long warm autumns and mists that come in from the River Bodrog, creating perfect conditions for noble rot. This can contribute towards creating the botrytised ('aszú') grapes for which the region is famous. These are individually picked as late as mid-November into buckets ('puttonyos') and crushed to a paste. Varying amounts of this aszú paste are then added to non-aszú must or wine made from a mix of Furmint, Hárslevelű, Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, Kövérszőlő or Zéta grapes, and left to ferment. The resulting wine is then aged in relatively small barrels in a labyrinth of cellars in the soft volcanic tuff, on whose walls thick blankets of fungus regulate the humidity.

The wine regions of Hungary as its mentioned in Hungary wine map: Tokaj (Tkaji), Eger (Egri), Mátra, Lake Balaton, Somló, Villány, Sopron, Mór, Pannonhalma, Kunság, Csongrád, Hajós-Baja, Neszmély, Etyek-Buda, Szekszárd, Zala. Eger is in the north, about 86 miles northeast of Budapest. Grapes grow natively on Eger rolling terrain; in fact, scientists actually identified a 30 million-year-old wine grape fossil in Eger, among the modern-day vineyards. Eger is best known for two of its native blends: the Bikaver, or “Bull’s Blood” (a red blend), and the Egri Csillag, or “Star of Eger” (a white blend). Tokaj is the gold standard of the Hungarian wine regions. It is Hungary most famous wine region, the oldest classified wine region in the world, a Unesco World Heritage Site, and home to the world first noble rot wine–the sweet golden Tokaji Aszú (“toe-kye as-zoo”).

Villány is a warm region in the southernmost tip of Hungary, famous for its opulent red wines (see Hungary wine map). It is 140 miles south of Budapest, near Hungary border with Croatia, and only about 340 miles from the Adriatic Sea. The sub-Mediterranean climate is particularly ideal for making wine, with long hot summers and mild winters. The wines here are world-class, structured and elegant, with good tannins and a balance of fruit and earth. Nagy Somló is Hungary tiniest wine region, but its wines are possibly the most fascinating in Hungary. Somló is only 300 hectares (741 acres), located on an extinct volcanic butte about 90 miles west of Budapest. The bedrock is black basalt, the remnant of ancient lava flows, and above it lies a topsoil with loess, clay and sand. The unique terroir makes some of the smokiest, most fiery white wines in the world.
