Balatonboglar wine region - Wine & Gastronomy tour - Balatonboglar

As in the other regions of Pannonia, the Celts and the Romans produced grapes and made wine here also.
The climate of the region - situated to the south of Lake Balaton - is well-balanced. The soils are mostly forest soil that developed on loess deposits. A small proportion of the grapes is planted on sand.
The dominant varieties produce white wines, but the area is also perfectly suited to the production of red.
The variety of wines is very wide. The white wines have a rich bouquet and strong palate and are dry with great character. Although less red is produced, it competes well in quality with the white. The region is more suitable for the production of the Burgundy type reds that have a fruity palate and aroma. Wines from the Balatonboglar Kekfrankos, the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Merlot are particularly good quality.
Total area of the region: 10 391 ha.
Number of settlements in the region: 21.
