The twelfth grand tasting Badacsony Wines where wine lovers place to be!

Lake Balaton cannot be brought to Budapest, but the wine producers from that region could come to Budapest the Capital of Hungary to introduce their latest and well known wines to the visitors coming to get to know by tastings.

Lake Balaton Regional TDM Association hand-in-hand with the Badacsony regional winemakers and cellars organizined the annual wine tasting festival this year as well at the New York Cafe. The Badacsony wine-makers and tourism providers from the region have had been boosting again the fiesta atmosphere in Budapest.

The Kéknyelű Magic Wines from the Vulcan’s landscapes this year played a major role … A little bit about the Badacsony Region … Badacsony wine region, stands on volcano that has been extinct for 2.5 million years, whose soil is a mixture of clay, lime and sand found at the bottom of the Pannonian Sea with different versions of volcanic basalt, its micro climate is a mixture of cool continental and hot Mediterranean climates, in short, an ideal paradise environment for grapes.

The first two hours of the tasting were for journalists and invited guests, so it was still easy to get to everyone, but at 4 in the afternoon the gates were opened to the public and fans of Badacsony wines stormed the counters. It’s true that I didn’t stay until the end of the meeting, but while I was present, the event took place in a civilized manner, and the majority of the guests really came to the venue due to genuine interest and not “I could have a drink”. Several came with a specific goal and proceeded according to a pre-drawn plan, others targeted familiar wineries, and still others specifically hunted for new faces. It was refreshing to see people sharing their tasting experiences and already going to places recommended by others.

Let’s see a couple of wineries that hit the road definitely to mention:

Istvándy Estate and Winery … Badacsonytomaj … Keeping their Family tradition more than 200 years. As said they believe in the Kéknyelű wine. For them not in the volume is in their task, but in quality. They are convinced that creating something valuable and unique can only be done based on well-founded, in-depth expertise, with openness and creativity. They found the right raw material for this in the noble and special Kéknyelű. Their mission is to discover the secrets of Kéknyelű, which will open up new horizons for the wine region.

You can apply for the use of the Value and Quality Grand Prize Certification Trademark until May 31, announced the Tender Board of the Value and Quality Grand Prize Tender. The competition offers a very wide range of opportunities for businesses whose products are recognized both domestically and internationally. The awards of the Value and Quality Grand Prize Contest, the certified “symbol of quality”, will be presented on September 7, 2023, in the parliamentary session hall.

One of the headlines was expressed by Ildikó Kiss Károlyné – Founder of the Value and Quality Grand Prize Contest said „Q”.: “It is common knowledge that businesses do not only create financial value. Their development and innovation potential can therefore not only be evaluated from an economic point of view, but we must also recognize their social and community role. The Quality Certification with Trademarks goes back more than a quarter of a century. The predecessor of the Value and Quality Grand Prix Certification Trademark, the Hungarian Product Grand Prix Certification Trademark, was launched in the spring of 1998. In 2018, this trademark was extended to the entire Carpathian region, followed by the modern Value and Quality Grand Prix Certification Trademark, which can also be introduced internationally.”

The founder of the Value and Quality Grand Prize Competition continued: „Q.”: “It is common knowledge that businesses do not only create financial value. Their development and innovation potential can therefore not only be evaluated from an economic point of view, but we must also recognize their social and community role. Quality certification with trademarks goes back more than a quarter of a century. The predecessor of the Value and Quality Grand Prix Certification Trademark, the Hungarian Product Grand Prix Certification Trademark, was launched in the spring of 1998. In 2018 trademark was extended to the entire Carpathian region, followed by the modern Value and Quality Grand Prix Certification Trademark, which can also be introduced internationally.

Dr. János Latorcai – Vice-president of the Parliament and the main patron of the event – said „Q”.: „We all experience and feel that something is changing in our world. More and more people believe that regardless of the outcome of the war, fundamental changes will occur in the international economic and political system, many are already talking about the reversal of globalization. It is difficult to predict how profound all these changes will be, but it is certain that the capacity for self-sufficiency will be appreciated, and this is impossible without innovative domestic enterprises. Successful support programs must therefore be continued. The purpose of the Value and Quality Grand Prize Tender System is to recognize the high quality level of goods and services that qualify for the tender, to promote the production of goods of outstanding quality and high added intellectual value that are competitive on the international market, and to encourage the development of services. Its important task is to help consumers make quality-conscious choices, to contribute to the development and distribution of health-conscious, energy-efficient products and services with its tool system. It supports the emergence of knowledge-based products and the establishment of enterprises operating in intellectual property-intensive industries, and serves the development of active quality policy of manufacturers, distributors and service providers.”

János Árpád Potápi – State Secretary responsible for national policy at the Prime Minister’s Office, said „Q”.: „We have been working for the thirteenth year now on the creation of a unified Carpathian basin – and within that a unified economic space. Thus, it gives me great pleasure that since 2016, the products of several foreign Hungarian entrepreneurs have also been among the award winners. This is a great example of the quality and togetherness that Hungarians represent with their work in the Carpathian Basin, and even worldwide. I am confident that in the spirit of our national unity and the cross-border cooperation of Hungarian entrepreneurs, this year we will once again be able to welcome Hungarian applicants from abroad, with whom we can raise our region together as one nation.”

Sándor Farkas– Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture put it following regarding the application. “Q”.: “During the pandemic, we experienced how vulnerable nations are to each other in today’s globalized world, and within them, we humans. The war further increased this and at the same time proved that the complete abandonment of self-determination and self-sufficiency of nations means a vulnerability that no responsible leadership of any country can afford.”

At the press conference also were present the representatives whom will offer various special prizes for the bidders of the Value and Quality Grand Prize Contest at the forthcoming GP … The DIMOND – Organizer office, ExVA – Investigation and Witness,Hajnal Meat CombineCo., LEGRAND – Hungarian Electricity Authority Co., Saint-Gobain Hungary Ltd., and the SZÁM-PONT Computer Service and Training Center Co.

Its task and goal is to collect and present its intellectual culture nationwide. The exhibition was opened for the first time in 1973. In 1983, after becoming independent, it moved to the renovated Nepomuccenus Mill, which once operated as a water mill. The former water mill was built in 1758 based on the plans of Jakab Fellner, and was named Saint John of Nepomuk, after the patron saint of millers and those who travel by water. The facade of the building is decorated with a sculpture carved from wood. At the 500 m2 exhibition in the main building objects can be seen which are  regularly in use by domestic and foreign researchers as well as university students studying the subject. One of the museum’s main programs is the “Guest in the Museum” event. Each year, one county with national traditions presents themselves by a temporary exhibition. The museum plays an important role with young people who represent national traditions, so they can be the bridge between the generations. They can learn about the knowledge of the elders according to their own interests. However, the aim of the museum is also to open up space for the local and neighboring ethnic kindergartens and school children.  There is also introducing  the life of the museum with guided tours and gastronomic programs. The museum’s collections include products from the end of the 19th century, but most objects from the 20th century were brought to the museum by  the locals of Hungary. The majority of the collection are ethnographic objects, which here show material culture of the Germans living in today’s Hungary organized with the support of the Ethnographic Museum.

Almost ending day on our press tour, the press conference took place at the German Nationality Museum in Tata, whereas Ms. Zsófia Jakab – Deputy General Manager of marketing and communications of the Hungarian Tourist Agency, highlighted in connection with the event. “Q”: “Cultural tourism is a particularly important element among the tourism products of our country. For this purpose, 4.5 million guests arrive every year, who spend 13 million guest nights in Hungary. From the tourism point of view …  it is important to mention that those interested in the Hungarian culture is extremely important that we primarily provide high-quality hospitality within our services.”

Ms. Magdolna Nagy – Director Organizer Szabadtéri  (Open-Air) Ethnography Museum – Center for Museum Education and Methodology, spoken about the organizational background of the Autumn Festival of Museums, the antecedents of the concept created in 2022.  The museums organize programs related to culture, environmental protection, social and mental sustainability. She added, the rich programs awaiting visitors to lead their footsteps to these historical amazing sights. She mentioned, as in every year, the institutions can connect their events to given themes. In addition to the four topics retained from previous years, four other new topics adapted to the concept of the year as to provide in the opportunities.
