About the winery
Folly Arboretum and Winery is a unique venue on the northern shore of Lake Balaton in Badacsonyörs. The 120-year-old private garden hosts thousands of rare and noble plant species, showcasing the enchanting world of Badacsony's microclimate and Mediterranean vegetation lovers.
The traditional Badacsony wine estate and cellar produces award-winning wines from local grape varieties, including the indigenous Blue Stem and Riesling from the Rajnai terroir. The arboretum is an integral part of the winery: vineyard parcels are managed within the garden's heart, lending unique character to the harvest.
Visitors can participate year-round in guided walks, wine tastings, gastronomic events, and interactive programmes. The on-site restaurant offers home-style seasonal dishes and Folly wine tastings alongside panoramic views of the lake.
