Mátra wines
Taste our selection of carefully selected wines from the wineries of the Mátra wine region, from which our employees always provide helpful advice. In addition to our permanent offer, our restaurant highlights wines from different Mátra wineries every month.
Mátra wine region
In Hungary, we distinguish 22 wine regions based on their territorial size, of which the historic Mátra wine region is the second largest in our country. Among our mountainous regions, Mátrai is the largest with approximately 7,815 hectares of registered vineyards.
The wine region is located on the southern slopes of the Mátra Mountains, in the area bordered by the rivers Tarna and Zagyva in the east-west direction. Viticulture and wine-making activities in this region have long traditions, not least the excellent southern location of the Mátra hills is favorable for grape and fruit cultivation. Its characteristics are special, its uniqueness and the light, floral and fruity tone given by the cooler climate provide a real wine experience. The mountain ranges of Mátra protect the hillsides from the north wind, and most of the vineyards are located between the forests. There are several medieval wine cellars in the countryside, some of which have been renovated and still offer wine today.
The region has a moderately continental climate. Its geological conditions are unique and its soils are varied. Among the prominent wine-producing settlements of the historic Mátra wine region are Abasár, Markaz, Visonta, Nagyréde, Gyöngyössolymos, Gyöngyöspata, Gyöngyöstarján and Szücsi.
Among the grape varieties, in addition to the traditional Olaszrizling, Leányka and Muscat Ottonel, high-quality wines are also produced from Szürkebarát, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Among the blue grape varieties, Kékfrankos and Pinot Noir are grown in the largest area, but Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc are also found in smaller quantities.
The Mátra winemakers use all their professional knowledge to create special, high-quality blends. The wines harmonize well with the dishes typical of the local landscape, and when paired together, we can achieve a special gastronomic experience. That is why, in our castle, we pay special attention to the harmony of the Mátra wines and our restaurant offer, in which case feel free to ask our trained servers for help!

Grill terrace and cocktail bar
Life starts in summer on the shores of our seasonal outdoor pool! In addition to bathing, open-air massages, the fairy-tale castle and the Mátra panorama, the only thing missing for physical and mental rejuvenation are delicious snacks. You can enjoy freshly baked or light snacks, hamburgers or pizza baked in our own oven on our grill terrace. In the adjacent bar, we offer soft drinks, short drinks, cocktails and, of course, the best wines from Mátra.
