Downtown Wine and Champagne Festival

There are plenty of opportunities if you want to enjoy a festival with great atmosphere while in Budapest. If you are a fan of wine and champagne, then there are several festivals to choose from, but one of the nicest is the “Downtown Wine and Champagne Festival” which is arranged in the center of Budapest at the Liberty square.

The festival was first arranged in 2023 and it has a lot in common with the Downtown Beer Festival, a festival normally arranged at the same location a few days after the end of the Wine and Champagne Festival. Come to Budapest for some days and you will get a chance to drink lots of wine and champagne first, followed by tasty beer a few days later. If you want to taste even more wine and champagne at a more local festival in the same period, read more about the Budafok Wine and Champagne Festival here.

The great thing about this festival is that it is in the center of Budapest and it is completely free to enter the festival area. But, if you plan on drinking wine and champagne served during the festival, you must buy the official festival glass.

In addition to giving you the chance to drink a lot, there will also be stands at the square where you can buy traditional Hungarian street food, sweets, and soft-drinks.
