Götz Pincészet – Wine Review 2025

Winery – Wine Cellar – Wine Tasting – Wine Sales

Götz Winery is a traditional family-owned and operated wine cellar. It has long been the family vision to produce excellent wines made with meticulous care from harvest to bottling at our family vineyards. The Götz family carries on the region’s tradition of making fine Tokaji wines by harvesting grapes from our own vineyards, aging our wines in our hundreds of years old underground cellars, and bottling the finished products at our own distribution shop.

Unique Atmosphere of the Cellar:

Götz Winery’s cellar, located in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Gombos-hegy, is a true gem. The historic cellar rows and the natural mold that lines the walls create a unique atmosphere, perfect for wine tastings and events. The cellar’s temperature and humidity are perfectly controlled, ensuring the optimal aging process for the wines.
