PINOT NOIR VERTICAL TASTING XV. - 2026
BackVintage Tasting
The event is part of the ETYEKI KÚRIA XXX program series.
Since 2010, we have been gathering with our guests and prominent representatives of the wine industry almost every year to learn more about the Pinot Noir wines we have been producing in Etyek since 2003.
The XV. Pinot Noir Vertical Tasting is now a traditional event held at our Sparkling Estate in Öreghegy.
For our upcoming Pinot Noir Vertical event, we have selected wines from around the world to pair with the wines of Etyeki Kúria.
Of course, international wines call for an international expert, so we are pleased to welcome WILLI KLINGER to the Etyeki Kúria Sparkling Estate.
