ST.DONAT Organic Wine Estate

What a special gem of a place. We had a couple of bottles of wine and an antipasto platter. Our host was knowledgeable about the wine varieties of the region but also the terroir. We were made so welcome and the wine was divine. And the view! You can see the entire northern part of lake balaton. Breathtaking. A really special setting.

We came as a group of 9 on a hiking tour, visiting many vineyards in the area. Sadly, this was by far the most disappointing stop. When I asked if we could sit in the front row to enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Balaton, the response was a blunt “no.” No explanation, no apology, and no effort to accommodate us – they didn’t ask how long we planned to stay, nor did they mention if those tables were reserved. We sat for at least an hour, and no one came to those front tables during that time, which made the refusal feel even more dismissive. The atmosphere was cold and uninviting, and on top of that, the wines themselves were very average compared to other vineyards in the region. Overall, we left feeling excluded and disappointed. Definitely not an experience I would recommend.

Beautiful experience, beautiful place , you can see Balaton lake from above, very good wine and top service , highly recommended.

Everything is great about this place! Outstanding view, excellent service, very good wine and snack (cheese plate, chocolate cookie). Recommended!

Visited this beautiful vineyard yesterday. Highly recommend you visit, the tour was excellent and our host was very knowledgeable and thorough. We had tapas as we sampled several excellent wines. The cellar tour was very special. We visited a vineyard in Tuscany a year ago and they really need to come to St Donats to learn how to offer the real experience!!

We’ve found this winery just by chance on google maps. This winery is really something special, the view is amazing, the concept of the ecological, harvested by hand grapes and produced with rudimentary tools and traditional way is simply amazing. We also were so lucky to be served by the most lovely lady (I didn’t ask her name) that explained to us everything with such passion that I will absolutely be back when we’ll visit again Balatonfured. As per the wine, the wine is really good quality, not cheap but the prices are fair for the concept and the quality of this family run winery.

Beautiful spot with a stunning sunset over the lake. The wine was delicious and Brigit was an amazing host who was knowledgeable about the wines, the soil and and the history of the region. The brick vaulted ceiling cellar is well worth a visit.

great tasting with a great history of this place
