My Travel Photos – Tokaji Aszú
Tokaji Aszú berries.
What your seeing in this photo isn’t raisins!
These are actually botrytized grapes made of noble rot. These unique grapes produce Hungary’s famous sweet wine “Tokaji Aszú.”
This photo was taken on Tokaj Hill in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region of Northeastern Hungary.
Many thanks to Himesudvar Winery for providing me an exclusive tour of their beautiful vineyards.

Hello Everyone,
I know this family winery very well, I love their wines very much. Once you are in Tokaj, visit their cave and taste their wines (especially late harvest wines and Aszú wines). You can’t miss it.
Next weekend (1st weekend of Oct), Tokaj is organising the Harvest Festival. Great fun, lots of wine, music, food, market, etc.
The very best to everyone,
Judit from Nyíregyháza (Hungary)

Hi Judit,
Thanks for your comment and the information about the Harvest Festival in Tokaj.
Himesudvar is a wonderful little family winery. It really is a nice place to visit and get intimate experience.

Tokajii Aszu is probably the most delicious and unique wine I have ever tasted. We keep a bottle of 5 puttyonos at home, unopened, waiting for the most special of occassions. Here in New York, almost no one is familiar with it, so they are always pleasantly shocked when we open a bottle of 3 puttyonos at gatherings that they’ve never heard of it! It was so nice to see an (english) blogpost on it!
