Keszthely Balaton Uplands wine district Founded in 1900
Traditional vineyard, modern winery – the flavours of Cserszegtomaj in every glass
About the winery
Bődy family vineyard and winery is one of the youngest wineries in Cserszegtomaj, yet its roots stretch back to 1900, when Dr. Zoltán Bődy, Vice-County Head of Zala, and his wife established the vineyard. After weathering different periods in its history, the estate has been revitalized in the spirit of preserving family values, and today serves the renowned wine-growing and winemaking culture of the region.
The ecologically farmed vineyard has been processed since 2020 in a modern, well-equipped winery of their own. With nearly two decades of winemaking experience, the team produces aromatic whites, rosés, and full-bodied aged reds from the region's characteristic varieties – Irsai Olivér, Cserszegi fűszeres, Pátria, Kékfrankos, Merlot and Syrah. The winery earned recognition in its first years: their 2021 Irsai Olivér was voted among Hungary's TOP 20 aromatic white wines at the international Winelovers competition, and their 2023 rosé ranks among the country's three best rosés.
