Tokaj wines

Tokaj wines, hailing from the Tokaj wine region, are renowned for their unique character and exceptional quality, making them truly special in the world of wine. What sets Tokaj wines apart is their traditional production method, which involves the use of noble rot, or botrytis cinerea, a beneficial fungus that shrivels the grapes and concentrates their sugars and flavors.

 Medieval frescos in Žehra

The interior of the Church of the Holy Spirit is decorated with medieval wall paintings that have been preserved to this day. The paintings have a high artistic value and reveal a master who was based on Italian painting, but also knew elements of Byzantine art. Every detail and object of the fresco has multiple theological meanings and it is fascinating to study them.
