About the winery

Árvay Családi Pincészet is nestled in Rátka, in the heart of the Tokaj wine region, where the family has cultivated vineyards since 1978. They currently manage 17 hectares across five distinctive vineyard parcels: Isten-hegy, Padi-hegy, Meggyes, Középhegy and Úrágya. Volcanic rocks and unique minerals make every harvest distinctive.

The winery's philosophy combines respect for tradition with modern winemaking. Their Aszú and Aszú Essencia are processed using traditional methods, while their dry Furmint wines are made with spontaneous fermentation and aged in Hungarian barrels.

In 2018, they established a new tasting room where visitors can arrange three- or six-wine tastings by appointment. Their shop features both dry and sweet wines, and they also offer workshops and special experiences."
