Escape the ordinary and take to the skies on a breathtaking journey to one of Hungary’s most enchanting wine regions—Badacsony, located on the picturesque northern shore of Lake Balaton. Our Private Helicopter Wine Tour offers an exclusive opportunity to explore the celebrated Istvándy Cellars, where tradition, terroir, and timeless beauty come together in perfect harmony.

Soar Above the Lake: Helicopter Departure from Budapest

Your day begins with a VIP departure from Budapest by private helicopter. As you ascend above the capital and glide westward, you’ll witness Hungary’s landscapes transform from urban architecture to rolling hills, dense forests, and finally, the sparkling waters of Lake Balaton. The approach to Badacsony is a sight to behold: gentle hillsides lined with vineyards, whitewashed press houses, and charming villages nestled beneath the volcanic slopes.

Arrival at Istvándy Cellars: A Family Legacy of Wine and Hospitality

Nestled in the heart of the Badacsony wine district, Istvándy Cellars is more than a winery—it’s a celebration of family heritage and nature’s bounty. The Istvándy family has been cultivating grapes and producing wine for generations, combining age-old knowledge with modern sensibilities to create wines that are both expressive and elegant.

Here, the juice of the grapes is often described as a “wonder of nature,” with wines that reflect the mineral-rich volcanic soil, the microclimate of the lake, and the loving care of the winemakers. The region is especially known for its crisp whites, including Olaszrizling, Szürkebarát, and Kéknyelű—varietals that capture the essence of Badacsony’s terroir.

An Experience for All Senses

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. Whether seated on the panoramic terrace overlooking the lake or tucked into one of the cozy tasting rooms, you’ll be immersed in an atmosphere that delights every sense. The scent of the vines, the cool touch of cellar walls, the sounds of nature, the taste of refined wines, and the sight of Lake Balaton glimmering in the sun—all combine to create a memory that lasts a lifetime.

Your guided tasting session will introduce you to the winery’s most beloved selections, paired with insights into the vineyard’s history, grape varieties, and winemaking techniques. Optional local delicacies may also be served to highlight the perfect food-and-wine pairing.

Timeless Views and Unforgettable Moments

Few places offer such a harmonious blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. The hills of Badacsony, shaped by ancient volcanic activity, offer a dramatic backdrop to every glass poured. As the sun casts golden light across the vineyards and lake, time seems to stand still—inviting reflection, joy, and connection.

Return in Comfort and Style

At the end of your visit, your private helicopter will be ready to whisk you back to Budapest. As you rise once more into the sky, the hills of Badacsony slowly recede—but the warmth, flavor, and beauty of the experience remain with you.
