After last year’s success of our wine tasting masterclass, the embassy organized its first Wine Salon at the Ambassador’s Residence with the theme TOKAJ.
The Ambassador’s Wine Salon has the mission to introduce the colourful wine culture and numerous wine regions of Hungary.
The wines were presented by Ms. Helga Gál sommelier and gastronomic advisor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary.
Our distinguished guests had the possibility to taste seven different wines from the Tokaj region, all items followed by matching finger food carefully selected and prepared by our embassy chef.
