About 250 kilometers from the border with Poland is Eger, a Hungarian city famous for high-quality wine. In autumn, the air smells special in it, because then the grape harvest season approaches, celebrated by both the inhabitants and the crowds of tourists visiting the city. The landmark of Eger, its symbol, is the fortress visible from afar. Regardless of which side we enter the city from, we will see it first. Solid, high walls spread over a steep hill catch the eyes of tourists. It was thanks to the castle that the city was able to defend itself in the 13th century against the invasions of enemy troops - since then, the Eger fortress is for Hungary what Częstochowa is for Poles.

Traveling through Slovakia

During the trip to Eger, we can take a small , a seasonal site (open from March 15 to October 15) that offers hospitality to families with children, singles, lovers and / or passionate lovers of discovering new tastes. Not only wine - after all, the region is also known for its delicious cuisine. In addition to about 80 wineries, tourists can enjoy numerous restaurants and bars, where you can have a meal to the sounds of temperamental gypsy music and relax after exploring the area. You will not find an atmosphere like here anywhere else.

Chestnut basin of France - Ardèche
Ardèche is a French department famous for the oldest vineyard in the country and works of cave art. It is situated in the south-eastern part of the country. Chauvet's Grotto, discovered at the end of the last century, is not open to tourists - the wall drawings can only be admired by scientists - but this does not change the fact that the region is a tasty treat for thrill-seekers. The term "tasty morsel" in the case of Ardèche is absolutely appropriate. The department, located in the Rhône-Alpes region, is famous not only for the attractions you can see, but also for its delicious cuisine and excellent wine. Nowadays, the products of local wineries are known as part of the second wine region of France after Bordeaux - Côtes du Rhône. The vineyards that enter it stretch on both banks of the Rhône in a 250 km long strip. Ardèche, as one of the six departments of the region, is the heart of the area. What can we taste after arriving in this wine paradise? It is definitely worth getting acquainted with chateauneuf du pape with its root and spice dominance, as well as saint-joseph with the tart taste of forest fruits (red), fragrant with iris and rose (white). Red cornas is also worth attention, rich but wild, definitely not for everyone, and certainly not for lovers of delicate flavors. They should reach for the light, sparkling white Saint-Péray. Ardèche cuisine is aromatic, colorful and rich. It tastes of chestnuts - the region's dishes include a strongly herbal caillete with chestnut purée, pork stewed with chestnuts, duck breasts with chestnut porridge and figs, and also candied chestnuts. While traveling through the villages of the Côtes du Vivarais (southern part of the Rhône), it is worth trying aromatic scrambled eggs with truffles.
