Rátka Tokaj wine district Founded in 2011
Family winery from Tokaj-Hegyalja, where tradition meets quality
About the winery
Istenhegyi Borház is a family winery founded in 2011, producing Furmint and Sárgamuskotály wines sustainably from the Tokaj-Hegyalja region. The winery's 3-hectare vineyard sits on volcanic soil of Mount Istenhegy, with zeolit and rhyolitic lapilli tuff as dominant rocks. Wines are crafted without added yeasts using traditional and modern methods, resulting in small-batch production.
The owner, Gabriella Vaszkóné Bodnár, returned to Tokaj-Hegyalja after 15 years to work the vineyards and create her own wines. The Istenhegyi Guesthouse offers 4 rooms, a wine bar, and a terrace with views of the Zemplén landscape. In addition to tastings and hospitality, the winery operates a webshop with a minimum order of 6 bottles.
