About the winery
Benedek Pince és Major is a family winery in the heart of the Mátra region, built on four generations of winemaking tradition. The cellar, constructed in 1947, remains fully operational, and the vineyard has expanded from its original one and a half hectares to 16–17 hectares today. Winemaker Benedek Péter works in harmony with nature, applying the most natural methods while respecting terroir characteristics.
The vineyard cultivates Hungarian and international grape varieties in equal proportions. The winery's highlight is its selection of single-vineyard wines, while the base collection ages in tanks. Visitors can explore the winemaking craft and discover local viticultural traditions during cellar tours.
The estate offers wine tastings, rural dining experiences with fresh homemade specialities, and accommodation for 2–3 families. After a full day of countryside activities, guests can immerse themselves in local traditions and customs in a welcoming, family atmosphere.
