Budapest Etyek-Buda wine district Founded in 1989
Tradition and innovation in a family winery
About the winery
Lics Pincészet is a family winery founded in 1989 by László Lics and his wife, Éva. With nearly 50 years of winemaking expertise and 70 hectares of own vineyards, the winery operates across two renowned Hungarian wine regions: Szekszárd and Etyek-Buda near Pákozd.
The heart of our winery is the historic Budafok cellaring facility, where wines mature in limestone-carved cellars following centuries-old winemaking traditions. The cellar dates back to the 1790s and provides ideal conditions – constant 12–16°C temperatures and 80–82% humidity – for wine maturation. We craft premium wines from our own vineyards, blending traditional winemaking methods with modern technology.
