Mád Wine Village & Synagogue
Mád
One of the wine villages where famous Tokaj estates are most concentrated, with many boutique wineries and an 18th-century Baroque synagogue restored to pristine condition.
Mád is known as one of the “wine capitals” of the Tokaj region. Nearby top estates such as Szent Tamás and Úrágya produce premium aszú, and both old and new wineries, including Royal Tokaji, are concentrated in the village, where you can book tastings at each one. The village synagogue, built in the late 18th century, is one of the best-preserved Baroque synagogues in Hungary. It reopened to visitors after restoration in 2004, and it is next to a rabbi’s house and a Jewish cemetery. The village is about 20 km from Tokaj and suits a half-day self-drive tasting route. Remember not to drive after drinking.
