About the winery
Georgikon Winery operates the viticultural and winemaking experimental station of Keszthely's Georgikon Campus, part of Europe's oldest agricultural higher education institution, founded in 1797. The estate's international grape collection has existed since the Festetics era and continues to evolve.
The institution is renowned for its nearly 220 years of viticultural education and research heritage, and significant breeding achievements. World-famous vine breeder Dr. Károly Bakonyi worked here and created the Cserszegi Fűszeres—now Hungary's second most widely cultivated white wine variety—from the Izsai Olivér × Piros Tramini cross.
The family-sized winery offers wine tastings in an authentic setting. Winemaking knowledge is taught through practical instruction, closely integrated with theoretical study.
