REGISTER TO ATTEND HERE

We continue exploring the hidden gems of Eastern Europe's ancient Wine country. Join us for an evening of traditional wine, cuisine, music and entertainment from the country of Hungary.

The territory and climate of Hungary is ideal for growing wine and since the fall of communism, wine-making here has seen a new renaissance. The region offers a great variety of styles: elegant and full-bodied, dry whites with good acidity, complex sweet whites (Tokaj), elegant as well as full-bodied robust reds (Villány and Szekszárd).

Some interesting trivia about Hungarian Tokaji wine: Tokaji, meaning "from Tokaj" in Hungarian, is wines from the region of Tokaj-Hegyalja. Tokaji wine has received accolades from numerous great writers and composers including Beethoven, Schubert and Goethe; Joseph Haydn's favorite wine was a Tokaji. Louis XV and Frederick the Great tried to outdo one another in the excellence of the vintages they stocked when they treated guests like Voltaire. Napoleon III, the last Emperor of the French, ordered 30–40 barrels for the Court every year and King Gustav III of Sweden, never had any other wine to drink. .

Mingle in Klimat's newly renovated brick-walled, wine cellar
with an interesting and international group of young professionals. Sample five Hungarian wines paired with a selection of typical Hungarian dishes. Learn something exciting about the country via an exhibit of photographs and discuss fascinating cultural trivia and history with our Hungarian
event ambassador. 

We will also raffle off a gift basket with Hungary
