At the Budapest Wine Festival, you can find the Kóstolom Winebar Buda team at stands 65-66 in the Csikós Court. Next to our stand, we have prepared an interactive series of free-to-visit Pop-Up Tasting events in collaboration with VinAgora & Kóstolom Interactive Wine Zone. We welcome you every day from 16:00 to 19:00 with wineries and their presentations, catering to the audience thirsty for wine culture.

We feel like half-armed giants without music. Even in the WineBar, we pay great attention to our music selection, and we want to convey this atmosphere to you as well. On the occasion of our wine bar's 5th birthday, we are preparing live music every evening. Each DJ has a connection to wine, some even come directly from wineries. It will be a special experience to enjoy their company, not only with their wines but also with music, filling the Csikós Court.

Kóstolom Winebar Buda

In the past five years, we've tasted over 5000 different wines, hosted more than 100 wineries at our tastings, and had over 3000 guests at our events. Even after all this, our top priority is to select the best wines based on your preferences and create an atmosphere in our wine bar where you'll enjoy spending a few hours or even a whole evening with friends, partners, and colleagues in the heart of Buda, next to the Millenary Park, at Kóstolom.

We primarily curate our wine selection from the range of top domestic wineries, working with producers we know and love collaborating with. Sustainability and natural winemaking are important to us, but most importantly, the wines must be delicious. 70% of our offering consists of exceptional wines from outstanding domestic producers, but beyond that, we also offer specialties and curiosities from more than 17 countries around the world for the wine-loving audience.

It's of utmost importance to us to organize interesting programs and wine events for you week by week. We shape our events based on different themes (winemakers, wine regions, countries) and always add a twist to deviate from conventional tastings, infusing playfulness into our events. The Wine Duel is one of our most exciting tastings, and we have a monthly wine club, thematic wine evenings, and starting from September, we're launching a long-cherished dream, the malt club.
