The cellars carved into the loess wall, which received the Henry Ford Prize, were mostly used as hiding places during World War II, but since their temperature is constant throughout the year, they are perfect for storing wine, as well.
Today, more than 100 cellars are used for fermenting wine, but the venue also gives place to various cultural and gastronomical events several times a year. Numerous tourist routes lead through the forests around Szólád, including ones that lead to Kereki Castle and to the famous “place of pilgrimage”, the Nezde Statute Park.
Tip: The Loessal Cellars are easiest to approach by leaving the M7 highway at the junction of Szólád.
