About the winery
Borkatedrális Pincészet was founded in 2012 and builds on the traditions of Batthyány Pince while charting its own path in the Villány wine region. The winery offers approximately 50 varieties of wine produced in-house, most of which are organized thematically into wine series: Villány Protected Origin Wines, Traditional Pécs Varieties, and Mediterranean dessert wines. Bottled and PET-bottled selections include both red and white wines.
The winery operates a separate processing and winemaking facility in Kisjakabfalva. On the Villánykövesdi cellar row, they run a tasting room and wine bar where they organize wine tastings for 10–40 people by prior appointment. In 2023, the company also opened the NAPOCSKA Guest House. Their wines have won numerous awards at wine competitions, including gold medals.
