About the winery
Basilicus Szőlőbirtok is an 8-hectare family estate in Tarcal, located in the heart of Tokaj-Hegyalja. In 2018, the winery received the award for Hungary's Most Beautiful Vineyard in the small estate category. The vineyard spans six different terroirs: Mestervölgy, Dobai, and Lónyai in Tarcal, Lapis in Bodrogkeresztúr, and Verebes in Tokaj territory.
The estate operates entirely according to organic methods. The vineyards cultivate all six grape varieties permitted in Tokaj – Furmint, Hárslevelű, Sárgamuskotály, Kövérszőlő, Zéta, and Kabar – plus Purcsin, a pre-phylloxera red variety. Annual production reaches 15–20,000 bottles, including dry wines, Szamorodni, Fordítás, and Aszú wines.
Basilicus offers guided tastings, team-building events, hobby winemaker days, and visits to a 200-year-old cellar. Guests discover the secrets of Tokaji wine culture and the unique heritage of Tokaj-Hegyalja through expert-led experience programs.
