Eger

The biggest wine-and gastronomy festival of Eger, Bikavér (Bull's Blood) Celebration is organised on Saint Donat's Day every year. It is not a usual festival or winetasting, it is a life feeling in Eger, which can only be experienced on the spot with concerts of well-known bands on the main stage and talented young bands on the Egri Csillag stage. The first one is of higher volume, the latter one is underground-like. One thing is common: we will come together and taste our great wines and dishes of local chefs listening to good music in pleasant green environs. It is good to be here, every year, in the same way. When will the next Bull's blood wine celebration be? For current events, check out our Calendar or ask Tourinform for help!

Egri Csillag (Star of Eger) Weekend is traditionally organised on the last weekend of April, which is at the same time the introduction, tasting and celebration of the emblematic, flagship white wine of Eger.
