Despite the server spending most of his time on the other side of the boat chatting and joking with different tables of girls until he kept running out of Prosecco (we didn’t even get a polite smile out of him) we were still able to serve ourselves with other drinks at the bar, and it ended up being great value for money in the end. The night was almost ruined by a rude female staff member with a horrible…”

Taste 8 Hungarian wines in 2 hours at Bortodoor in Budapest, guided by a sommelier, with local charcuterie. $55.
“Easily the best wine-tasting I've done. Really good exploration of the history of winemaking in the region, types of wine, things to look for, and plenty of back and forth with the unpretentious but very knowledgable guide, who was happy to answer questions, and calls it as he sees it, without being dismissive of anyone - winemakers, or tasters alike.

I could not recommend this tasting enough.”
