St Martin's new wine and goose weekend

Twelve wineries pour the year's new wine in the Skanzen's Vigadó, with goose dishes and roast chestnuts to eat. The open air museum opens its village districts for the two days.

About the event

Martinmas is when the autumn work ends and the new wine gets tasted, and the museum's village districts fill up for two days of it. The wineries come from Tokaj, Szekszárd, Villány, Eger, Szentendre, Gyöngyöstarján and the Balaton uplands, and Gergő Fejérvári runs themed tastings for small groups, with places taken in the Vigadó. The stage runs all day with storytellers, folk bands and an autumn farewell dance house to finish, and stilt walkers perform twice a day outside. Families can work through a five station mission across the farmsteads, and there are gastro tours and a short guided walk for younger children. A lantern procession sets off from the Süttöri farmstead late in the afternoon, so make a lantern at the craft point first.
