Our Hotel

Our hotel, located in the heart of our vineyard estate, was once home to the viticultural school that played a defining role in the history of Tokaj-Hegyalja. Constructed in the aftermath of the phylloxera epidemic, it served for many years as a place where generations of vineyard workers and cellar masters learned their craft.

When the Degenfeld family began searching for a cellar with the right conditions to accompany their newly established vineyards in the 1990s, they discovered what is now the estate. Along with the vineyards and cellar came the abandoned building of the former viticulture school. Count Sándor Degenfeld originally envisioned transforming it into the family's Hungarian residence.

His daughter, Countess Mária Degenfeld, and her husband, Dr. Thomas Lindner, however, had always found great joy in welcoming guests. They felt that a house of this size was simply too special to be enjoyed only by their family, and decided instead to open its doors to others. This vision gave birth to the boutique hotel that welcomes guests today—a place where we are delighted to share everything this estate, its natural surroundings, its wines and the Tokaj wine region mean to us.

Today, the historic building is home to a boutique hotel with 21 rooms. Its atmosphere has been shaped by the personal taste and vision of Countess Mária Degenfeld, while the estate continues to be guided by the same values: thoughtful hospitality, deep respect for nature, and a genuine desire for every guest to feel truly at home. 

Discover Our Current Offers

Every season reveals a different side of the estate. Our seasonal packages are thoughtfully designed to help you experience the very best that Gróf Degenfeld and the Tokaj wine region have to offer throughout the year.

Our Lounges

„Fortissimo” Salon

The “Fortissimo” Salon is a place for conversations, connection, and time well spent together. It is a space where conversations begun earlier in the day can continue over a glass of wine, where a
board game or a deck of cards may appear on the table, and where there is no rush to be anywhere else. 

Whether it is an evening spent in good company, a friendly game, or an unexpected encounter, the salon provides a setting for those simple moments that often become the most memorable.

„Andante” Salon

The “Andante” Salon is one of the estate’s quietest and most intimate spaces. Tucked away beside the “Fortissimo” Salon, it offers a peaceful retreat for those who wish to slow down, lose themselves in a good book, or simply enjoy each other’s company without interruption. 

A place where there is nowhere to rush to, and where the calm of silence is as much a part of the experience as the conversations that unfold within it.

The salon also serves as the setting for some of the estate’s most special occasions. The candlelit dinner included in our Romantic Package is hosted here, making shared moments even more intimate and memorable.
