National Pálinkas of Excellence Program

For the pálinka distillery they renovated a 100 year old „machine house” on Hegykő, at the Fertő Hanság National Park. Their visual distillery received in 2014 the „most beautiful house at the Fertő area” recognition. In their family friendly environment they combine the traditions of distilling with the most modern technology. With energetic appearance their goal is to introduce this fantastic national beverage to the younger generation as well and to let them realize the myriad of fruit flavours. Their most prestigious award so far was the Zenit grape – Late sour cherry blend, which was awarded as „The best pálinka in Hungary in 2015”. Beside this they are proud to have dozens of gold medals and several Champion award pálinkas.

At the border of Balatonalmádi, the distillery is situated in the picturesque Vödörvölgy, they have been contract distilling since 1999 and since 2005 they have also been bottling their own branded products.

The family company is dedicated to the traditional pot-still distilling, but doesn’t discard the modern techniques and their self-developed, innovative technologies either.

Their commitment towards renewable energy and green solutions is proven, as they use natural compost, return pomace by permission and reuse cooling water. They are happy to receive visitors, gourmets on their well-shaded tasting terrace, as well as offer a distillery visit with tasting through prior bookings.
