HÍMESUDVAR

Continuing a Family Tradition

In 1983, Gyula Várhelyi and Margit Juhász transformed a crumbling building in the heart of Tokaj, Hungary, into a thriving winery. This historic structure, once a hunting lodge for King János Szapolyai over 500 years ago, now serves as the foundation for their family's winemaking legacy. Today, their children, Kata and Péter Várhelyi, carry on this tradition, crafting exceptional Tokaji wines that reflect Hungary's rich history and heritage.

Winemaking with Nature in Mind

The Hímesudvar vineyards span 3 hectares, where Furmint, Sárgamuskotály, Zéta, and Kövérszőlő grapes are cultivated without the use of insecticides. The Várhelyis prioritize sustainable practices, relying on manual labor and careful attention to detail to nurture their vines. Their commitment to nature means that strong chemicals have been absent from their winemaking process for years.

The winery's selection of white and dessert wines is crafted from the ripest grapes, harvested late to enhance flavor and complexity.

Experience the Essence of Tokaj

The Tokaj region is renowned for its unique microclimate, mineral-rich loess soil, and historical significance. Once favored by figures like Peter the Great and Louis XIV, Tokaji wines are celebrated across Europe. At Hímesudvar, the Várhelyis honor this legacy by focusing on the purity and precision of their wines. Each bottle reflects the quality and richness that make Tokaji wines truly exceptional, offering a taste of history in every sip.
