About CultiVini
How Wine Tasting Works?
If you want to taste from the 50 + various wines available on tap (the offer is changing when new, special wines, aged bottles are discovered or become available) you can do so by buying a card for a minimum rate of 6 000 HUF (you can pay in cash or with bank card).
A more comfortable option is to book one of the 3 tasting packages:
- 6- 10 wine samples,
- cheese & ham, baguette, water,
- expert guiding and custom mobile/tablet application to help you get acquainted with local wines, wine regions and wine makers.
You receive a glass in which you dispense wine from the wine preserving machines.
The name of the wines, the tasting amounts, and the price are displayed on a small digital screen.
The modern preservation and dispensing machines keep wine fresh in opened bottles for weeks.
You can drink as little or as much as you want. Just a sip from a rare dessert wine, a half glass from a lively white or a rare vintage.
If you used up the 6 000 HUF you can load more money to continue tasting. At the end of tasting you get back the remaining credits (above the 6 000 entry fee).
This way you have the flexibility to sample a wide variety of wines without getting drunk (snacks are available). If you want to buy a particular bottle from the selection of 150 different bottles available for instant purchase, you can taste just that one.
Worldwide delivery is available. No need to carry the bottles!
