About the winery
Szent Benedek Winery is owned by Dr. Géza Farkas, who fell in love with the Tokaj-hegyalja region in the late 1990s. The winery is located in Tállya, at Europe's geographical centre, in a stone building constructed approximately 200 years ago. Strict yield management forms the foundation of its philosophy, producing only 25-30 tonnes of grapes per hectare—far below the industry standard of 100-120 tonnes.
High-quality, exclusive wines are produced using oak barrel fermentation and ageing throughout. Dry wines receive 6–18 months of ageing, while Aszú wines undergo extended oak barrel maturation of nearly three years, exceeding legal minimum requirements. The winery's mission is to restore Tokaji wine's reputation through exclusive quality production alone.
The winery regularly participates in domestic wine competitions and events, where its wines have gained international recognition. In addition to tastings and events, individual and group wine tastings are also available.
