There is something special about moments when everything comes together: a glass of wine in hand, familiar and new faces around us, laughter that arises naturally, and music that sets everything in motion.
This evening is about joie de vivre, and this year we want to place that feeling at the centre. It is about that simple yet rare sensation of being in the right place, with the right people. When there is no need to rush, no need to perform—only to be present, to share, to connect. In this spirit, we are also opening the event to producers who are not part of the Lees Brothers portfolio, but who are closely aligned with our philosophy and share similar values in how they live and work.
Together we open bottles, stories, and moments. We dance, we talk, and we let the mood carry us. A space where community naturally takes shape, and where ease is not the exception, but the default state.
This is not just an event. It is a feeling we create together.
This summer, one of the most exciting natural wine events returns—if you love natural wines, this is the place to be at Bencze Szőlőbirtok. Expect engaging conversations, refreshing fermented drinks, and seasonal food prepared by Ádám Pohner and Luca Kun, now known not only from Iszkor but also from their newly opened Gajdó.
The party will also be a highlight—returning DJ Bodó Marci will be joined by a live performance during the tasting to lift the atmosphere. On Sunday, a well-deserved slowdown follows: brunch, chill, and delicacies by Artizán and friends. Don’t miss it.
More details coming soon.
