Pásztó-Hasznos Mátra wine district

Western gateway to Mátra – traditional grape varieties on volcanic soil

About the winery

Balassi Borpince operates at the western gateway of the Mátra, in the settlement of Pásztó-Hasznos. The cellar, built into the slopes of the ancient Cserteri hillfort, preserves traditions of Turkish-era winemaking. The volcanic soil and Mátra climate guarantee high-quality grape production.

The winery's modernly renovated facility showcases the complete winemaking process. Guided tours through the historic cellars and the history of the ruins above add cultural depth. The cellar complex tells the story of centuries-old winemaking heritage in the region.

The range features wines made from traditional local grape varieties. Visitors can enjoy cellar tours, wine tastings, and wine dinners, with panoramic views of the Mátra from the wine terrace.
