Five wines, eleven generations, one remarkable family story

Five glasses of wine may not be enough to tell a story spanning nearly three centuries. But they're certainly enough to begin discovering it.

At Tiffán's Winery in Villány, every bottle carries a connection to a family whose winemaking roots stretch back to 1746.

Eleven generations have worked with the vineyards and wines of this celebrated Hungarian region, passing down knowledge, traditions and a deep understanding of the land.

Today, the family's story continues through wines that combine this extraordinary heritage with the character of modern Villány.

This classic wine tasting in Villány invites you to discover that story, one glass at a time.

From refreshing rosé to the character of Principium

Your tasting follows a carefully arranged journey through five Tiffán wines, gradually moving from lighter, fresher styles towards more expressive and structured reds.

You'll begin with Tiffán Rosé, a refreshing introduction to the family's winemaking style.

Next comes Portugieser, a grape variety closely associated with Villány and appreciated for its approachable, fruit-forward character.

The journey continues with Immortal, followed by Merlot, allowing you to explore different expressions of the region's red wines.

Finally, you'll arrive at Principium, bringing the tasting to a memorable conclusion with a wine that represents the more serious side of the Tiffán portfolio.

Together, these five wines offer more than a selection of different flavours. They reveal how the winery approaches grape varieties, balance and the distinctive character of Villány.

A family tradition dating back to 1746

Few wineries can tell a family story stretching across eleven generations.

The Tiffán family's connection to Villány began in 1746, and its influence on the region's winemaking culture has continued ever since.

One particularly important chapter came in 1991, when Ede Tiffán became the first recipient of Hungary's Winemaker of the Year award.

His recognition marked an important moment in the development of modern Hungarian winemaking, helping establish Villány's reputation as a region capable of producing distinctive, high-quality wines.

But this tasting isn't a history lesson.

It's an opportunity to discover how a family's accumulated knowledge finds its way into the wines being produced today.

What does it mean to continue a tradition established almost 280 years ago? Which methods have changed, and which values have remained the same?

These are the kinds of stories that make visiting a family winery so memorable.

Discover the vineyards behind Villány's great wines

The Tiffán family cultivates approximately 25 hectares of vineyards across some of Villány's most recognised growing sites.

Among them are Ördögárok, Jammertal, Sterntal, Remete and Kopár.

Each vineyard has its own characteristics, shaped by its location, soils and growing conditions.

During your guided tasting, you'll have the opportunity to learn more about these sites and how they contribute to the identity of the winery's wines.

You'll also discover why Villány has become one of Hungary's most celebrated destinations for red wine enthusiasts.

From the region's distinctive terroir to the traditions of its winemaking families, there's always another story waiting behind the next glass.

A relaxed wine tasting in the heart of Villány

Your experience takes place at Tiffán's Winery on Erkel Ferenc Street in Villány.

Over approximately two hours, you'll taste five wines in a welcoming setting where conversation is as important as what's in your glass.

Soda water and light wine snacks are included, while optional cheese and cold meat platters can be added if you'd like something more substantial.

The tasting is available in English or Hungarian, making it a great choice for international visitors discovering southern Hungary.

Whether you're a passionate wine enthusiast or simply curious about Hungarian wines, you don't need any specialist knowledge to enjoy the experience.
