About the winery
Szende Pincészet represents eight generations of winemaking tradition in the Villány wine region. Szende Gábor and Gabriella began independent wine production in 1985 and were among the first to open a cellar in Villány's historic wine row in 1995. Family heritage and winemaking expertise enable them to craft premium quality wines from international and traditional Villány grape varieties grown on their vineyards in the Ördögárok, Kopár, and Csillagvölgy vineyards.
The winery operates over eight hectares, cultivating Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Portugieser, and Kékfrankos. Ifj. Szende Gábor, the family's first university-trained sommelier, continues their innovative winemaking tradition, resulting in award-winning Villány wines.
Since 1995, Szende Pince has played a significant role in Villány wine tourism and is a key stop on the Villány-Siklós Wine Trail. They welcome wine lovers with a guest house and modern winery facilities.
