Take your private event to new heights—literally and figuratively—with a bespoke helicopter journey from Budapest to the Villány wine region, culminating in a curated experience at one of Hungary’s most renowned family-run estates: Gere Attila Winery.
An Unforgettable Arrival: Helicopter Flight Over Southern Hungary
Your day begins in exceptional style with a private helicopter departure from Budapest. As the cityscape gives way to the lush Hungarian countryside, enjoy breathtaking views of rolling vineyards, forested hills, and sleepy villages from above. The aerial route takes you south, where the warm climate and volcanic soil nurture some of the country’s finest red grape varieties.
Welcome to Villány: Hungary’s Premier Red Wine Region
Upon landing near Villány, you’ll enter one of Hungary’s most prestigious and distinctive wine-growing areas—a true haven for lovers of full-bodied reds. Nestled in the southernmost part of the country, close to the Croatian border, the Villány region boasts a remarkable combination of natural beauty, historical depth, and viticultural excellence.
A Mediterranean Microclimate with Unique Terroir
Villány enjoys a mild, almost Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers and gentle winters that allow grapes to ripen slowly and fully. This climate, combined with loess, clay, and limestone soils, provides the perfect environment for red grape varieties to thrive. The result is wines that are rich in flavor, intense in color, and complex in character.
The terrain is gently rolling, with south-facing slopes that maximize sunlight exposure—essential for achieving the depth and structure that define the region’s wines. These slopes are dotted with small, family-run vineyards and centuries-old cellars carved into the hillsides, adding to the area’s rustic charm and authenticity.
Red Wine Royalty: The Grapes of Villány
Villány is best known for its Cabernet Franc, which has become the region’s signature variety and is often considered its highest expression. In fact, Villány was the first European wine region outside France to designate Cabernet Franc as its flagship grape, and the wines produced here are internationally acclaimed for their elegance, structure, and aging potential.
Other prominent varieties include:
- Merlot – Soft and velvety with dark fruit notes
- Cabernet Sauvignon – Bold, structured, and long-lived
- Portugieser – A local specialty, light and fruity, often enjoyed young
- Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch) – Spicy and vibrant with bright acidity
Blends, such as Bordeaux-style cuvées, are also popular, showcasing the winemakers’ skill in balancing tradition with innovation.
Heritage and Innovation Hand in Hand
Villány’s winemaking heritage stretches back to Roman times, and later flourished under medieval monastic stewardship. Yet, while deeply rooted in tradition, the region is also known for its forward-thinking producers who embrace modern techniques, sustainable farming, and high-quality standards.
Wineries range from small, family-owned cellars to internationally recognized estates, many of which offer beautifully designed visitor centers, gourmet restaurants, and guided tastings. The fusion of old-world ambiance and contemporary winemaking makes every visit to Villány a rewarding cultural and sensory experience.
A Region Full of Life
Beyond the vineyards, Villány is also a vibrant community with wine festivals, thermal spas, and historical sites that make it a perfect destination for leisure and exploration. The local hospitality is warm and personal, and the scenic countryside invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the finer things in life.
Gere Attila Winery: A Legacy of Passion and Innovation
Your destination is the celebrated Gere Attila Winery, a benchmark estate in Villány that embodies tradition, innovation, and family heritage. With winemaking roots tracing back seven generations, the Gere family has transformed their legacy into a world-class enterprise.
Established in 1991 by Attila Gere, the winery began with a strong vision—honoring traditional Hungarian viticulture while embracing modern, experimental techniques. What started as a passion project has grown into a 70-hectare estate located on some of the region’s finest vineyard plots.
Today, the Gere brand is a household name not only in Hungary but also across Europe. With the younger generation now actively involved in operations, the winery continues to evolve while preserving the values passed down through the decades.
A Personalized Wine Journey
As part of your private event, enjoy an immersive visit to the estate’s elegant tasting rooms. Guided by expert sommeliers or a member of the Gere family, you’ll explore a curated selection of their finest wines—from robust Cabernet Francs and Merlots to the region’s signature blends.
