“Lake Balaton is such a timeless region of the world, where people have lived in harmony with nature and enjoyed life for thousands of years. In 1994, our family laid the foundations of the wine mansion on Szitahegy in Csopak for this purpose as well.

We built up our winery slowly, making just as much wine as needed each year. From the mid-2000s, the vineyard grew by one hectare every year, and there was a demand for quality gastronomic experience, too. Our winery and our year-round bistro have been hand-in-hand since 2014 and are holding on together: the goal is to give the best available quality in glasses and on the plates also.

Today, we cultivate vines on nearly 16 hectares, engaging in organic farming, and bottling our wines with the least possible intervention, in many cases unfiltered and uncleared, to preserve most of what nature has given us.

On our estate, named after St. Donat, the patron saint of Csopak vineyards against summer storms, we strive to pass on with our wines and regional cuisine a little of what Lake Balaton and the Balatonfüred-Csopak wine region mean to us. “
