Please, respect that the wine-growers do not only sell their products, but do vine-land and wine-making work day-by-day, as well.
In Palace Cellar Handcrafted Wines’ Shop you can purchase in opening hours. It might happen, however, that due to the current viticulture works to be done, we cannot be open for a day or two. If you intend to purchase during seasonal works, please, contact us by phone.
If you wish to take part in wine tasting, an appointment should be made.

Palace Cellar Handcrafted Wines’ Shop of Sümeg is improved year-by-year by three young men, Márk, Tamás and Gábor. This place has become something more than a really good ordinary wine manufacture, due to the Episcopal Palace’s several-hundred-year-old history. Not only are the three young men highly-qualified oenologists, but their responsibility and devotion towards preserving the historic traditions is an example to be followed. This is a place where wine, viticulture and history are combined with vocation and thus, something completey unique revives and sets off…
Márk, Tamás and Gábor’s guided wine tasting events compare well with a viticultural initiation, where we get a comprehensive picture of the history and historic vine-plantation of the Episcopal Palace, the changing and riviving of the cultural landscape.
Meanwhile, it becomes clear that the three experts are equal to be the couriers of Vince Ramassetter, one of the greatest wine traders of former Hungary.
The art of wine-culture, wine making and image building is improving equally here.
The products of Palace Cellar offer the most impressive programmes in the country, suggesting the harmony between wine and gastronomy. From guided wine tasting events through wine dinners, they take us on an exclusive journey back in time in gastronomy where we can taste museum-pice wines.
