One of our favourite villages in the Tokaj wine region, picturesque Erdőbénye nestles in a basin, almost embraced by hills and vineyards. And spring is a wonderful time to visit as the tiny flowers make their appearance to proclaim that the days are lengthening, the finer times are on their way. It’s a great time – and area – to explore on foot and by bike too. And with the winemakers!
