1st February 2017 is the date set for the first International Furmint Day – an idea supported by Dániel Kézdy, founder of Furmint February and writer of the beautiful book Tokaj and its People and Vineyards. He says, “I would like to draw winelovers’ attention to this special, very exciting and lovable wine. We wish to achieve this primarily with the use of social media. We would like to awaken interest in as many curious people as possible so they taste this wine and tell of their experiences. Just imagine if everyone who can would open a bottle of Furmint and then show what they had drunk with the help of the worldwide web.”

Discover experiences and learn more about Furmint, an increasingly high-profile grape variety that’s on everyone’s lips!

And new plans? Well, there is the idea for International Aszú Day to be held first in December 2017.
