Hercegkút Cellar Rows
Hercegkúti pincesorok
A complex of hillside cellars in the core area of the World Heritage site, with over a hundred stone-fronted cellars lining the mountain paths and full of rural charm.
Hercegkút is a small village founded by German settlers in the 18th century. On the Kőporos and Gombos-hegy slopes above it, over a hundred small cellars have been dug, with stone-built doorways arranged in tiers along the paths. They form one of the core landscapes of the Tokaj World Heritage site. Strolling the cellar rows lets you see traditional home winemaking, and some cellars open for tastings on weekends or during wine festivals. The village lies about 5 km from Sárospatak and about 35 km from Tokaj, so the two can be combined.
