Thematic tasting organised by Mád Circle. Details coming on their website: www.madikor.hu/rendezvenye.

The cult of Pope St Urban is being revived in the region where his relics lie and are taken ceremoniously through the region. Grape growing and winemaking have accompanied humanity throughout history. In Hungary the Mongol invasion and much later phylloxera devasted not only the vines but also the culture of the region. And many of these rich folk traditions are being revived.

Most of the main events are held in Mád, but other towns and villages also celebrate and on the Saturday events in Monok, Tarcal, Tokaj and Bodrogkisfalud moving through Erdőbénye, Olaszliszka, Sárospatak and Hercegkút on Sunday before its return to Monok.
