Can anyone recommend a good, family-owned winery that includes overnight accommodations and breakfast and/or dinner options?
Also, how much more convenient is it to drive from Budapest vs. ride the train? Will my phone's GPS work the entire way or is it better to use a paper map?
Thank you.
Trains are very easy, taking 2 hours, with direct departures at 9:00, 11:00, etc. I guess the benefit of a car would depend on how rural you want to sleep and how many wineries you want to visit. Rick's book suggests some easy tasting-room options in Eger itself, as well as ways to reach the suburb of Szépasszonyvőlgy/Sirens' Valley without your own car (taxi, summer tourist train, or half-hour walk). I don't know whether the accommodations there offer the one-stop shopping you mentioned.
