Experience Details

What makes the 2025 Foodapest Tour with Wine Tasting a truly unique experience is the perfect blend of authentic Hungarian flavors, local storytelling, and intimate group vibes. Unlike standard food tours, we go beyond just eating—we connect you to the culture, history, and people behind each bite.


You’ll taste everything from iconic staples like goulash and chimney cake to lesser-known local favorites, all paired with carefully selected regional wines and spirits. Each stop is a mini cultural deep-dive, guided by locals who share not just food, but the stories and traditions that make Hungary’s cuisine so rich.


With a relaxed, small group setting, this isn’t just a tour—it’s a shared culinary journey where you leave full, inspired, and maybe even with a few new friends.
