Get to know Tokaj

Our university is working to promote the vine and viticulture of the region, which has been closed since 1737, and its traditions, as well as the built and cultural heritage that is closely linked to the 27 municipalities in the region.
In addition to the history of viticulture and winemaking, the two-week programme offers general gastronomy and wine knowledge, wine marketing and wine market knowledge, and then explores the specific Tokaj region aspects of these topics in detail for the students of the summer university. Wine-making methods and tasting techniques will be taught not only at the Tokaj Wine Region Research Institute of Viticulture and Enology, which is part of the University of Tokaj, but also at the wineries and vineyards with their own unique characteristics that will be featured in the afternoon programme.
