For discerning travelers seeking an immersive and luxurious experience, our exclusive helicopter wine tasting program to Tokaj offers an unforgettable day of elegance, history, and refined taste. This private journey combines the thrill of helicopter travel with the charm of one of Hungary’s most storied wine estates—Patricius Winery.

The Experience

Your day begins with a private helicopter transfer from Budapest, designed for those who appreciate both comfort and style. As you lift off, the scenery quickly transforms—from the city skyline to Hungary’s vast and varied countryside. Rolling hills, winding rivers, and scenic vineyards unfold beneath you, offering a unique perspective on the land that has produced world-renowned wines for centuries.

The journey is more than transportation—it’s a prelude to the cultural richness and sensory pleasures that await. As you approach the Tokaj region, you’ll catch your first glimpse of its iconic vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape that has captivated wine lovers and royalty alike.

Upon arrival, you’ll land near Patricius Winery, located in the picturesque village of Bodrogkisfalud. This estate is more than a winery—it’s a bridge between centuries of Hungarian winemaking tradition and the innovative spirit of the present.

Patricius Winery: A Legacy Rooted in Tradition and Vision

Located in the heart of the Tokaj Wine Region, Patricius Winery is one of the defining names in Hungarian winemaking. This prestigious estate is the result of the Kékessy family’s deep-rooted passion for viticulture—an endeavor that draws strength from centuries of tradition while embracing the future of modern winemaking.

Owned by Dezső Kékessy and his daughter Katinka Kékessy, the winery carries on the family’s proud heritage, with ancestors on both the maternal and paternal sides having been renowned vineyard owners in both the Mátraalja and Tokaj regions since the 18th century.

Today, the 85-hectare estate is home to eight historic first-growth vineyards, a mark of prestige and quality in the Tokaj region. The estate is based in Bodrogkisfalud, where a beautifully restored 19th-century noble press house—once featured in the Tokaj-Hegyalja Album of 1867—serves as a symbol of the winery’s enduring connection to the past.

This historic building is seamlessly connected to a state-of-the-art, organic-style winery built with a gravity-flow system. This modern facility not only reflects the winery’s commitment to sustainability and precision, but also its respect for the natural rhythm of winemaking. Together, the old and new create a harmonious environment that perfectly complements the UNESCO World Heritage landscape of Tokaj.

Guests of Patricius Winery are welcomed with warm hospitality and offered the opportunity to enjoy a private tasting of the estate’s finest wines. The tasting experience includes a carefully curated selection—from vibrant dry whites to the region’s legendary sweet Tokaji Aszú—showcasing the richness of the local terroir. Each wine is presented with expert insight, allowing guests to fully appreciate the complexity, heritage, and craftsmanship behind every bottle.

Return to Budapest in Style

After your tasting and a leisurely stroll around the estate, your helicopter awaits to take you back to Budapest. As the vineyards fall away beneath you, you’ll carry home not only a memory of exquisite wines but also a deep connection to Hungary’s cultural and viticultural heritage.
