Family organic winery in Balatonfüred – pure wines, nature-close thinking, experiences
About the winery
Zelna Winery began in 2014 in Balatonfüred with a commitment to sustainable viticulture and premium wine experiences. Operating on eighteen hectares in complete organic farming across the Balaton-felvidék region, Irsai Olivér occupies a central role in their range, cleanly conveying the message of soil and vintage. Beyond winemaking, Zelna operates a bistro, wine bar, and guest houses that connect wine appreciation to a complete lifestyle.
Barna Barabás, the winemaker and president of the Riesling Generation association, actively works to preserve the region's values. The family's nature-close philosophy runs from vineyard to bottle, with by-products recycled and gentle cultivation reflecting ecological responsibility. A dedicated team surrounds Zelna, united in precise, conscious work—a mindset reflected across all their services.
