About the winery
Borbély Családi Pincészet is a family winery established in 1996, based in Badacsonytomaj. The 23-hectare estate specialises in grape varieties typical of the Badacsony wine region: Italian Riesling, Grey Friar, Blue Stem, and Rhine Riesling. The vineyards, both young and mature plantings, are spread across the sun-exposed slopes of Mount Badacsony, Gulács, Csobánc, Bács and Tóti.
The winery combines modern technology with traditional methods. Wines are aged in oak barrels and wooden casks before bottling. The family tradition spans multiple generations, currently managed by grandfather Gyula, Tamás and daughter Diána. The winery has achieved notable success at competitions: gold medals at the Hungaricum Wine Competition, VinAgora International Wine Competition, and the National Wine Competition. Tamás was named Winemaker of the Year in 2020. Visitors can arrange tastings by advance booking and purchase wines at the winery and Badacsony Wine Terrace.
