Organic vineyard estate on the slopes of Szent György-hegy – wines, accommodation, terroir
About the winery
Szászi Birtok is one of Hungary's first certified organic vineyard estates, managing 20 hectares in the Badacsonyi wine region. The estate produces story-rich wines shaped by the character of distinctive soils, where every sip reveals the terroir. The family established the property in 1999 on the southern slopes of Szent György-hegy, with additional parcels in Szigliget, Hajagos, and Lesencetomaj.
The Szászi family's philosophy is simple: to create enduring quality and beauty with maximum respect for the environment. They hand-prune and hand-harvest, using gentle tools and no synthetic growth regulators. Organic farming methods combined with both traditional and modern winemaking techniques serve quality above all else.
The complete wine range is showcased through a network of tasting rooms, guided tastings are offered year-round, and five guest houses (Natura, Diófás, Tercia, Zsálya, Atelier) welcome visitors throughout the year.
