XVIII. Európai Bordalfesztivál

Wine goes hand in hand with songs in every culture, but only the hungarians have “winesongs” – you would think so.

Well, it is already known from the history of the festivals: that, this musical treasury is unequally rich, inspired by the grape and wine through ages, cultures and continents.

The Winesong festival served as a guide for more than a thousand male singers to the world of winesongs and excellent hungarian wines. Beside the participants, the dedicated audience is also contributing year by year to the unforgettable and unique feeling of the festival.
