About the winery
Villa Pátzay Borbirtok is located in the heart of Badacsony, within the scenic setting of Balaton Uplands National Park. The estate sits on basalt hills where volcanic soil, Balaton's microclimate, and winemaking expertise unite. The winery combines traditional winemaking principles with state-of-the-art technology: a three-level gravity-fed system ensures gentle grape processing.
Pátzay Borbirtok is internationally recognized, with wines earning gold and silver medals at prestigious competitions including Mundus Vini, Berliner Wine Trophy, and Challenge International du Vin. The winery's building is an architectural icon, winning ArchDaily Building of the Year in 2010; the wine labels received the prestigious Red Dot Award.
Guests can choose from guided cellar tours and multiple tasting programs with rich gastronomic accompaniment. The Pátzay Guesthouse and Wine Terrace remain open year-round overlooking the Balaton panorama.
