Cserszegtomaj Balaton Uplands wine district Founded in 2020
Wine heritage and agritourism on Lake Balaton's northern shore
About the winery
Pilikán Park operates in the heart of the Balaton-felvidék wine region, in the scenic village of Cserszegtomaj, immediately adjacent to the Georgikon Viticulture and Oenology Experimental Station – Hungary's oldest viticultural research centre. The approximately 3-hectare estate carries a rich history traceable from prehistoric times; later it was managed by the Festetics family. The park offers panoramic views across Lake Balaton, vineyards, and the Keszthely Hills.
The Pilikán Park provides accommodation, wine tastings, and wine tourism experiences. Cserszegtomaj is the birthplace of Cserszegi Fűszeres, a grape variety bred here in 1960 by Károly Bakonyi, and the estate operates at this authentic location. The property also includes a farmers' market, webshop, event venue, and agritourism opportunities.
