Götz Winery

A Platinum-recognized winery by Visit Tokaj.org, Götz Winery is a traditional family-owned and operated wine cellar. It has long been the family vision to produce excellent wines made with meticulous care from harvest to bottling at our family vineyards. The Götz family carries on the region's tradition of making fine Tokaji wines by harvesting grapes from our own vineyards, aging our wines in our hundreds of years old underground cellars, and bottling the finished products at our own distribution shop.

Götz Winery is located in the Swabian village of Hercegkút, which lies approximately 3 kilometers from Sárospatak in the heart of the world-renowned Tokaj wine region, and approximately 240 kilometers northeast of Budapest. The village's scenic hillside rows of historic wine cellars in Kőporos and Gombos-hegy form part of the World Heritage Site.

 

Highlights of our winery:

• Premium vineyards in Tolcsva, Sárazsadány, and Sárospatak (including historic former treasury lands)
• Modern processing and bottling facility with stainless steel tanks
• Aging takes place in our four-level historic cellar located on the Gombos-hegy cellar row, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site
• Our philosophy combines tradition with modern technology
• Every bottle carries the family name – our personal guarantee of quality

WINE TASTING

Large or small groups, families, friends, and professional groups of wine lovers are invited to visit our winery.

For smaller groups (generally less than 20 people), the cellar visit begins with a tour of the bottling facility where we produce wines with controlled ripening. Here, the guests can become familiar with the mysteries of producing reductive Tokaji wines and the technology of wine production.

Following the bottling facility tour, we will travel the short distance (5 minutes by vehicle) to visit the nearby rows of wine cellars in Gombos-hegy - a designated World Heritage site - where you will tour our spacious underground ripening cellar tunneled in rhyolite-tufa and taste selections of our winery. During this portion of the tasting tour, we introduce our visitors to the short history of Hercegkút, present-day Tokaj-Hegyalja, our family business, and of course, we describe the tasted wines. Our wine tasting room is also suitable for various events. Special entertainment, such as Gypsy bands, for example, can be arranged for special events.

Our tasting cellar seats up to 200 guests, and meals (cold or warm) can be provided with advance coordination. Please order these based on preliminary negotiations. The cellar visit and wine tasting take about 1.5-2 hours (+ meal if required). For groups of 50 people and larger, we will divide into smaller groups and rendezvous everyone together in the wine cellar for tastings.

If you intend to stay in the area overnight, we can assist you with organizing accommodations as well as other sightseeing programs. For example, we recommend our visitors complete their tasting tour with a short walk up Hercegkút's 14 Stations of the Cross path, an approximately one-kilometer gently winding path behind our cellar, which leads to a hilltop offering a beautiful 360-degree view of the town and neighboring landscape.

If desired, we can even bring our wine tasting or wine dinners to you at your favorite restaurant or business events elsewhere in Hungary.

 

OUR WINES

Our love and admiration of grapes and wines, as well as the respect of the family's tradition of hard work, play a definitive role in the reputation of Götz Winery. The excellent, productive vineyards of our family business, which include new and old-growth vines, are spread over 17 acres on six separate parcels of land. With vineyards situated in Kincsem and Bartalos in Tolcsva, in Zsadányi at the border of Sárazsadány, and in Csécsi, Darnő, and Szegfű near Sárospatak, the Götz family is able to dedicate its winemaking skills to a diverse selection of wines.

A naturally climate-controlled cellar is an indispensable element of our wine quality. Götz Winery ripens and stores our wines in Hungarian oak barrels stored underground in rhyolite-tufa tunnels, which continuously maintains the temperature at 9°C year-round.

The high degree of humidity deep in the cellars, combined with the natural compounds emitted from the barrels of ripening wine, team to create a natural mold which lines the interior of the cellar's walls. Called noble mold (Cladosporium cellar), it is a harmless yet vital element that supports the climate necessary for the proper production of our wines.
