About the winery
Aklan Family Wine Estate and Winery operates in the unique landscape of Lesencetomaj in the Balaton-felvidek wine region, where continuous wine-growing and winemaking traditions have flourished since Roman times. The 9-hectare vineyards lie at the foot of the Bakony hills at 200-250 metres elevation, offering spectacular views of Lake Balaton and the extinct volcanic cones of the Tapolca basin.
Established in 1988 and operating as a family winery since 2003, the estate produces wines using artisanal techniques, controlled fermentation and oak barrel ageing. The producers cultivate both international and Hungarian grape varieties: Olaszrizling, Szürkebarát, Cserszegi Fűszeres and Chardonnay white wines, as well as Kékfrankos, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah red wines. Their distinctive portfolio includes a range of herbal wines and spiced red wine vinegars.
Wine tastings are held in the 50-seat tasting cellar in refined surroundings, offering guests the opportunity to learn about the wines, viticulture and winemaking traditions while enjoying the remarkable panorama of Lesencetomaj.
