A DAY ON THE LAPOSA GASTRO ESTATE
Close to Badacsony railway station, the beach and the port of Badacsony, the Hableány, reopened in 2019, is located in the city center. Start the walk from here! Next to the wine cellar there is a contemporary Balaton bistro kitchen with local ingredients, a huge terrace and a local history exhibition. You can see the tank room next to the tables, so the visitor can get even closer to the wine-making process. During the factory visit, you can get an insight into the cellar, the factory, the process of making sparkling wine and the life of the estate during wine tasting.
Hableány has always been a meeting point: a venue for weddings, birthdays, big conversations, first a hostel, then a shop, a restaurant, and lastly a modern streetfood bistro called Kishableány. Now an estate center, wine shop, shop, bistro and restaurant in one, the gateway to the wine region.
“It’s an incredible feeling to be able to give back to the community by renovating a building that belongs to a cityscape, endowing it with new features, yet respecting the past. The Hableány has come a long way, with the renovation of an iconic building, a new building has been reborn, updated, expanded and brought to new life. ”
