Traditional sparkling wines and quality Somló wines from Hungary's most distinctive volcanic wine region.
About the winery
Kreinbacher Birtok is a family estate founded in 2002 on the volcanic slopes of Somló Hill. The founder's vision was to prove that the region deserves a place in the world of bottle-fermented sparkling wines. Today they farm 60 hectares organically, with additional fruit sourced from 20-30 hectares annually. The iconic winery building was completed in 2011, its distinctive architecture embodying Somló's character.
Their first sparkling wines debuted internationally in 2014. Kreinbacher's pezsgő is crafted using the traditional Méthode Traditionnelle under the guidance of Champagne master Christian Forget, reflecting their Futur Classique philosophy: the highest standards of traditional sparkling winemaking combined with deep respect for Somló's unique terroir.
From 2015, the estate offered accommodation and dining, with their bistro earning two Michelin recommendations. Since late 2024, the property is undergoing development to expand accommodations to 43 rooms and add wellness facilities.
