Kaposvár Balatonboglár wine district Founded in 2012
A historic yet contemporary presence in the Villány wine region
About the winery
Borkatedrális Pincészet was established in 2012, building on the traditions of the Batthyány Cellar. Over the years, it has expanded its network of wine shops in Pécs, Villány, and Kaposvár. The winery operates in one of Hungary's warmest regions, where it cultivates both traditional Pécs grape varieties and international varieties. Visitors can choose from nearly 50 different wines produced in-house, mostly quality bottled wines organized thematically into wine series.
The range includes Protected Designation of Origin Villány wines, Traditional Pécs varieties, and Mediterranean dessert wines, as well as 2-liter PET bottled wines. The winery has achieved numerous successes: gold medals and trophies at several wine competitions, including the Jakab-hegyi Wine Tasting and the Húshagyó Keddi Wine Competition.
In 2023, their guest house NAPOCSKA opened on the outskirts of Kisjakabfalva, where wine tastings are also organized. Their wines are available at wine cellars in Villánykövesdi, shops in Kaposvár and Pécs, and through numerous resellers.
