Tokaj-hegyalja Harvest Festival 2026
When an Entire Wine Region Celebrates Together
Date: 2–4 October 2026
Venue: Downtown Tokaj, Kossuth Square and other locations across the town
Tokaj reveals one of its most beautiful faces in autumn. The vines turn golden, the cellars fill with the promise of a new vintage, and the streets come alive with wine, music and traditions passed down through generations.
The Tokaj-Hegyalja Harvest Festival is one of Hungary’s oldest and most prestigious harvest celebrations. Held since 1932, this three-day event brings visitors closer to the communities, winemakers, artisans and cultural heritage of the Tokaj wine region.
At Minaro Hotel Tokaj – MGallery, local heritage is more than a source of inspiration: it is an essential part of the guest experience. In keeping with the spirit of MGallery, we believe in creating meaningful connections between our guests and their destination, introducing them to its communities, stories and living traditions.
The Tokaj-Hegyalja Harvest Festival offers a wonderful opportunity to experience this connection—a weekend when the past and present of this UNESCO World Heritage wine region come together, and Tokaj invites everyone to celebrate.
White Wines, Colourful Culture
The festival celebrates Tokaj’s greatest treasures: its vineyards, wines, communities and centuries-old harvest traditions.
Wine, gastronomy and culture take centre stage at locations throughout the town. Traditional highlights include:
-wine presentations and tastings by Tokaj-Hegyalja wineries;
-local culinary specialities;
-artisan markets and traditional crafts;
-open-air concerts and live music;
-folk music and heritage performances;
-street theatre productions;
-family activities and creative workshops;
-open cellars and accompanying events throughout the wine region.
Many of the programmes are expected to be free of charge, although tickets may be required for selected headline concerts.
