Tokaj, Historical wine town in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, Hungary.
Tokaj is a town where the Tisza and Bodrog rivers meet, characterized by stone buildings and narrow lanes dedicated to wine production. The streets pass by houses from different periods that shape the town's look.
Wine production in Tokaj was first written about in 1067. By the 17th century, royal support helped the region gain recognition across Europe.
The name Tokaj reflects the rivers that shape the town. Today, locals maintain their winemaking practices in deep cellars where you can watch barrels aging in the cool darkness.
You can explore the town easily on foot since the cellars are spread throughout the center. The tourist office provides information in several languages and can help arrange visits.
The soil beneath the town contains volcanic rock that shapes the wine's character. This ground allows noble rot to develop, which is essential for creating the sweet wines the region produces.
