Babarc Pécs wine district Founded in 2016
Artisanal winery from the Pécs wine region, blending tradition with modern technology
About the winery
Velin Winery was founded by Zoltán Tóth, who dreamed of establishing his own winery during his university years. The dream began to take shape in 2011 when he purchased his first vineyard plot in Velény. He launched his artisanal winemaking venture in 2016, naming it after the historic settlement.
In 2019, the winery relocated to Babarc, where Tóth acquired and renovated a historic episcopal cellar. The spacious cellar and constant temperature of 13-14 °C provide ideal conditions for quality winemaking. The winery sources grapes from trusted producers in the Pécs and Villány wine regions, maintaining long-term partnerships to monitor the vines' development year by year.
Continuous improvements in 2022 expanded the facility with bottling equipment, modern machinery, and enlarged storage. Through a focus on quality, the winery aims to introduce the region's distinctive grape varieties to an increasingly wide audience.
