Tata Neszmély wine district Founded in 1905
Traditional sparkling wine production in a baroque heritage building
About the winery
The Esterházy Pezsgőgyár is a traditional sparkling wine producer established in 1905 in Tata, Hungary. The heritage building, constructed in 1772 and designed by Jakab Fellner, one of Hungary's most significant Baroque architects, stands under monument protection. The estate's distinctive character is rooted in its history shaped by Hubert Emil, a French master vintner who arrived from Moët & Chandon and introduced traditional method champagne production to Hungary.
The sparkling wine house features a 500-square-meter ballroom and 1500-square-meter cellar system that serve as living memories of early 20th-century aristocratic life. Today, the building represents an exceptional window into Baroque architecture and the heritage of Hungarian sparkling wine production. Over two decades, the owners have meticulously restored and maintained every aspect of this remarkable estate.
