January’s tail end means Saint Vincent’s Day — and that means open cellars and a roaming vineyard crawl across the wine region. On Saturday, January 24, Babarczi Winery (Babarczi Pincészet) throws open its doors at 9081, Óvoda St. 33, serving live music, generous pours, tasty bites, and a full-on wine experience, all with a warm welcome.
Guided Tastings and Stories
At 1:30 PM and 3:30 PM, the estate’s winemaker leads guided tastings. Expect brisk, engaging stories about the winery’s history, the philosophy and quirks of their winemaking, and how tradition intertwines with innovation — all while you sip through Babarczi’s standout lineup.
Music, Dance, and Party Vibes
From 5:30 PM, music and dancing take the stage. If you’re after a livelier, party-leaning tasting, book a table for one of the last two slots to ride the evening groove with your glasses clinking.
Registration Required
Attendance is by registration only. Mark the date: 2026.01.24, Győrújbarát.

Pros
+
Family-friendly vibe during the daytime tastings, with stories and gentle pacing that work for multigenerational groups
+
Internationally familiar theme (wine + Saint Vincent’s Day) so you don’t need deep local knowledge to get the gist
+
Babarczi Winery offers guided tastings with the winemaker, which is a rare, insider-style experience compared to many big tourist wineries
+
Evening music and dancing add a festive, social twist—great if you like your tastings with a party vibe
+
Registration makes entry smoother and limits crowds, so you can actually hear the stories and enjoy the pours
+
Easy to combine with a broader Budapest–Győr trip; Győrújbarát is reachable via train to Győr plus short taxi/ride-share, or by rental car on good roads
+
Hungarian not required—wine context is familiar and staff at wineries often manage basic English; pointing at the lineup works fine
- Győrújbarát isn’t a globally famous destination, so first-time visitors may need extra planning for transport and local logistics
Cons
–
Limited public transport directly to the winery; last-mile likely needs a taxi, and driving isn’t ideal if you’re tasting
–
The event requires registration and has fixed time slots, which reduces spontaneity compared to casual drop-in wine bars elsewhere
–
Compared to marquee wine festivals in places like Napa, Rioja, or Tuscany, it’s smaller scale with fewer ancillary activities for kids
