Dereszla Winery and Cellar Labyrinth

Renowned for Dry Wines and Champagnes

Dereszla Winery, located in the picturesque Tokaj wine region, is celebrated for its exceptional dry wines and champagnes. This historic estate features a remarkable cellar that stretches one kilometer long and descends five levels beneath the vineyards. Dating back six centuries, the cellar is home to the unique Cladosporium mold, which contributes to the winery's distinctive flavors. Spanning sixty hectares, Dereszla is particularly famous for its Aszú flagship wines, as well as fresh and fruity dry wines crafted using a reductive winemaking process.

A Legacy of Hungarian Ownership

Since 2016, Dereszla Winery has been under Hungarian ownership, following a rich history of various families managing the estate from 1406 to 2016. Notably, in the 1450s, it was owned by the renowned Hungarian king Mátyás Hunyadi, later passing to the Habsburgs during the Turkish invasion. Over the centuries, the estate has been a hub for princes, barons, and Jewish merchants. The current cellar, established in the early 19th century, became the largest French cooperative property, CANA. The D’Aulan family acquired the winery in 2000, modernizing the cellar and implementing contemporary winemaking techniques. Dereszla cultivates a variety of grapes, including Furmint, Hárslevelű, Yellow Muscat, Kabar, and Sauvignon Blanc.

Event Space and Guest Accommodations

In March 2017, the Henye Wine Bar and Event Center was opened as part of Dereszla Winery. This beautifully designed venue offers a stunning backdrop for wine tastings, dinners, weddings, and corporate events. Adjacent to the bar, the estate features a guesthouse with five well-appointed double apartments and a 10-seater room, equipped with modern amenities such as a large flat-screen TV and Wi-Fi, ensuring a comfortable stay for visitors.
