Bock Pince
One of Villány's most celebrated wine producers, the Bock family has been in business here for more than 200 years. Today, they produce more than a million bottles a year to sell all over the world. A visit here is a chance to sample Bock's selection of spectacular (mostly red) wines, from award-winning classics to untraveled vintages, during one of the twice-daily tastings. Visitors can also get a glimpse behind (or rather under) the scenes with a tour of the atmospheric wine cellar every day at 2 pm and 5 pm. The main feature of the cellar is an extraordinary central vault (known as the "Bock Chapel") that looks like a Turkish baths and has some bizarre acoustics: stand in the middle to have your own voice reflected back at you, or talk to a friend across the room with just a whisper. As well as welcoming day-trippers, Bock Pince also has 33 comfortable and stylish bedrooms—unusually, the standard rooms are nicer than the deluxe ones—with prices starting from 38,000 HUF a night.
