The little wine-village with its aged wine-cellars, narrow streets, and an art-relic-church from the 13th century is the perfect place for pleasure-seekers, who'd like to discover the ambit and try out the local ways of amusement. The wine cellar called "Kerék" awaits you in this lovely ambit, offering you top wines, tasty dishes and familiar atmosphere.

Keszthely

Keszthely is a town of almost 24.000 inhabitants at the north-western corner of Lake Balaton. It's one of the largest cities of The Balaton shore, and also an educational centre, university town.

At the beginning of the 18th century Keszthely got under the ownership of the Festetics family. In 1745 they built a pompous castle and replaced the centre of their domains here. The first high-level agricultural institute of Europe (called Georgikon) was established in 1797 by Count György Festetics. The Major Museum - established from the former educational manor of Georgikon - is located in Bercsényi Street.

Programs of summer season in Keszthely start already at the end of April with the Helikon Festival. Opening of summer season is followed by the programs of Balaton Festival in May. Classical music programs of the Festetics Palace are of national fame, beyond solo evenings and concerts of chamber-music, master courses are held there too. The program called Summer Theatre of Keszthely is held in July and August in the park of the palace. The Wine Festival in August attracts many visitors

Still, the most important sight of Keszthely is Lake Balaton, which offers active leisure opportunities all year long. Surfing, sailing, swimming – its all about summer, but try it also during winter – you can not imagine a better place for ice-skating. Keszthely is also a great spot to start your cycling tour around the lake.
