The scenery and atmosphere of the cellar rows in Hercegkút are truly unmissable when visiting the Tokaj Wine Region Historic Cultural Landscape region.

The cellar rows of the Swabian village of Hercegkút are part of the Tokaj Wine Region Historic Cultural Landscape UNESCO World Heritage site and offer a truly unique and memorable sight for visitors. The village’s two famous cellar rows – Gombos Hill and Kőporos – consist of more than 160 traditional wine cellars carved into the hillsides, creating an almost fairy-tale-like atmosphere that reflects the centuries-old wine culture of the Tokaj wine region. The characteristic triangular cellar entrances blend harmoniously into the landscape, making the site remarkable not only from a cultural but also from an architectural perspective.

Walking through the cellar rows, visitors can gain insight into the traditions of local grape growing and winemaking, while several active cellars welcome guests with wine tastings and personal stories shared by local winemakers. The distinctive wines of the Tokaj region – including Furmint, Hárslevelű and the world-famous Tokaji Aszú – can be enjoyed in an authentic setting, offering a particularly memorable experience. With its peaceful atmosphere, Swabian heritage and historic wine cellars, Hercegkút is an ideal destination for anyone wishing to explore the cultural and gastronomic treasures of Tokaj-Hegyalja.
