2HA Augusztus 20. – The Tenth!
2HA Szőlőbirtok és Pincészet is hosting its August 20 pool and sparkling wine party for the 10th time at its panoramic estate on Szent György Hill. The free event will feature food by Kicsi Csóka Bisztró from Balatongyörök, winner of the 2025 Beach Food of the Year award, while Tadam will be behind the DJ booth this year.
Schedule
Olive groves, atmospheric corners, limited cellar-exclusive wines including pét-nat and rosé, iconic flagship wines such as Courage and Tabunello available by the glass, chilled sparkling wine, the sound of cicadas, tapas from one of the area’s best-known gastronomic spots, laid-back background music and a turquoise-blue swimming pool await those choosing Török Csaba’s estate on Szent György Hill for their August 20 celebration.
The date is fixed every year, but this time there is an extra reason to celebrate: August 20 falls on the first day of a long weekend – one more excuse to make the most of the good weather and bid farewell to summer by Lake Balaton once again.
Once a year, Csaba opens the estate’s private swimming pool to guests, so there is no need to think twice about arriving in a swimsuit, with an inflatable mattress tucked under your arm – or even a colourful inflatable animal. It is also worth throwing a blanket into your bag, as the chance to picnic among the olive trees in such an atmospheric setting doesn’t come around every day.
This year’s gastronomic guest is Kicsi Csóka Bisztró from Balatongyörök, whose owner has been a close friend of Csaba’s for many years. They are preparing a selection of tapas that perfectly match the relaxed atmosphere of the event. Their award-winning buffalo tartare with bone marrow will be served in small-plate form this time, alongside dishes including sturgeon croquettes, raspberry soup with cottage-cheese dumplings and pancakes filled with vadász sauce-style beef stew.
The soundtrack will be provided by Tadam, who earlier this year kept the DJ sets going well into the night at the Szent György-hegy Hajnalig event.
Attendance is free, but registration is required due to the venue’s limited capacity. To register, email [email protected].
2HA Vineyard and Winery
A winery and olive grove on Szent György Hill. Organic viticulture and organic wines, primarily reds, but there is no shortage of Olaszrizling or orange wine either. A cool cellar, breathtaking views, fascinating stories and an unforgettable setting: enjoy a glass of wine in the shade of centuries-old olive trees.
Winemaker and owner Török Csaba set out more than 20 years ago to make a single barrel of red wine purely for his own pleasure, using one of the world’s best-known and most popular grape varieties, Sangiovese. The resulting wine was later released under the name Tabunello and went on to become a benchmark among Hungarian reds. Production has long since grown far beyond that first barrel, and the range is no longer limited to Sangiovese: Cabernet Franc, Shiraz and Csókaszőlő form the core of the red wine portfolio, while the Bordeaux-style Courage blend also brings Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot into the mix. A traditional-method sparkling wine is made every year as well, with barrel ageing adding an unusual touch for Hungary.
Opening hours are seasonal: from Thursday to Saturday, the winery welcomes visitors for tastings and wine purchases by prior appointment.
