Tök Etyek-Buda wine district Founded in 2019
Wines with heart and soul in the Zsámbék Basin
About the winery
Cardium Winery opened its doors in 2019, building upon the 22-year legacy of Kovács Pince. Under the guidance of winemaker Balázs Monostori, we craft light, aromatic white and rosé wines that reflect the freshness and elegant acidity of the Zsámbék Basin's chalky soils. The geological heritage of the ancient Pannonian Sea – fossilized heart shells compressed into limestone – gives our wines their characteristic clarity and refinement.
Located in Tök village, just half an hour from Budapest, we stand in the shadow of the historic Nyakas mountain. Our winery operates not only as a place of wine production but also as an inviting event venue, where the beauty of nature, the tradition of viticulture, and the magic of wine converge. Weddings, family celebrations, and corporate gatherings become shared experiences with us, where every bottle carries the spirit of our land and our passion for winemaking.
