Balaton Wine Bus Full Day Hop On Hop Off Winery Tour

Everyone knows the Balaton beach — few see what's in the hills above it. The 46° Balaton Borbusz, Hungary's first hop-on hop-off wine bus, takes you there. Many partner estates are intimate, family-run vineyards not typically open to the public — your pass to meet winemakers directly, from big names to hidden small-production cellars. We handle the routes and timing so you can enjoy every glass without worrying about driving home; purchased wine travels with the bus and comes back to you at day's end. Hop off into hilltop villages and past church ruins nearly 1,000 years old, predating Balaton tourism itself. Two routes: "Régi Barátok" (Wed & Thu), through Balatonfüred, Aszófő, Pécsely, Balatonszőlős, Csopak, Lovas and Paloznak; and "Rejtett Kincsek" (Fri & Sat), through Balatonfüred, Aszófő, Pécsely, Vászoly, Mencshely, Óbudavár, Balatoncsicsó, Szentantalfa and Tagyon-hegy. Partners keep their own hours, so you'll get the confirmed open-winery list 24 hours before departure.
