The 35th Budapest Wine Festival welcomes visitors to Buda Castle from 15:00 until midnight on 10 September. Alongside Hungarian wines, the anniversary edition puts the wines of the Americas in the spotlight.
VIP programme starts tonight
Culinaris Wine & Music VIP opens at 18:00 and runs until 01:00. According to the official programme, its daytime lounge atmosphere turns into an elegant evening party with DJs. The VIP upgrade costs HUF 15,000 and is valid only together with a festival ticket for the same day.
The package includes all-day VIP access and hourly gourmet tasting bites until 19:00. Premium wines, sparkling wines and spirits are also part of the separate VIP offer.
Several price levels for one festival
The standard day ticket is HUF 8,900 and the four-day pass is HUF 16,900. Explorer tickets target guests arriving by 17:00; current availability and advance-purchase conditions should be checked on the official ticket page.
From a business perspective, the model creates several spending tiers around the same event: discounted early entry, standard day tickets, multi-day passes and a paid VIP upgrade. That makes the festival attractive for premium brands, banks, hotels, automotive and mobility partners.
Summary
The 35th Budapest Wine Festival is in its second day. Visitors are welcome from 15:00 to midnight, with the Culinaris Wine & Music VIP opening at 18:00.
