History and Heritage
Founded in 2000 by Váli Péter in Badacsonyörs, VáliBor began as a dream to pair homegrown wines with fresh, market-sourced ingredients on his own estate. Over two decades, it evolved through family dedication into a 10-hectare organic operation, certified by Biokontroll Hungária Kft. The winery reflects a passion for organic viticulture in the unique microclimate of Balaton highlands, where volcanic soils yield distinctive flavors.Vineyards and Winemaking
VáliBor's vineyards thrive organically, focusing on key Badacsony grapes like Kéknyelű, whose 2019 Ágyús dűlő vintage earned gold at the National Organic Wine Competition. Wines are reductive or barrel-aged with minimal sulphur, bottled directly for purity. Varieties include Pinot Noir, Syrah, Kékfrankos, and sparkling Badacsonyi Gyöngy, all showcasing the region's minerality and freshness. Guests taste these alongside local cheeses, hams, salamis, and homemade cakes.Tastings and Gastronomy
