Tokaj wine region, Wine region in northeastern Hungary.

The Tokaj wine region extends across 11,149 hectares of land with 5,500 hectares of vineyards at the foothills of the Zemplén Mountains.

The region established the world's first vineyard classification system in 1730 through royal decree, followed by designation as the first wine appellation in 1757.

The underground network contains 3,000 cellars carved into volcanic rock between 1400 and 1600, maintaining specific temperature and humidity for wine fermentation.

Visitors can access numerous wineries throughout 30 villages and towns to taste different varieties including Furmint, Hárslevelű, Yellow Muscat, and Zéta grapes.

The regional microclimate promotes noble rot development on grapes through Botrytis cinerea mold, resulting in concentrated flavors for sweet wine production.
