Lake Balaton is the largest lake in Central Europe. Viticulture and winemaking around the lake has an unbroken tradition going back to the days of the Roman Empire. The favourable geographical and climatic conditions translate into outstanding wines of individual character. Light reflected by the surface of the lake and volcanic soils are two major contributors to the exquisite quality of wines made in the region. The speaker of the masterclass Mr. Mátyás Szik is a three-time winner of the Hungarian Sommelier Championship; as an advisor and lecturer he is the right person to provide a comprehensive view of this up-and-coming region both in wine tourism and wine production.
