19h00 Welcome Dinner and Sparkling Wine Tasting
The Gerbeaud House
235 Euros pp
Dress Code: Business Suit (semi-formal) with Chaines
Gerbeaud is an iconic landmark on Vörösmarty Square. It is probably the most widely known café in
Budapest and surely one of Hungary’s most famous gastronomic assets. It is also one of Europe’s
oldest established trademarks and an example of how to go through constant renewal while preserving
traditions. It was founded in 1858 by Hungarian pastry chef Henrik Kugler. Global fame came with
the arrival in 1884 of Swiss confectioner Émile Gerbeaud, who joined Kugler for a fruitful
collaboration that lasted decades. Surviving two world wars and multiple changes of ownership, the
place was revived as a contemporary attraction in 2010.
We are inviting our Guests for a welcome toast in the Gerbeaud Café’s Golden Salon. Then a
sparkling wine tasting will be followed by a 4-course dinner in the Atrium Event Hall, which has
been fully renovated in 2020, and has one of the most impressive atmospheres under its glass
ceiling.

08h00 Full Day Motorcoach Excursion to the Historical Tokaj Wine Region
315 Euros pp
Dress Code - Casual with Chaines
Tokaj is undoubtedly the most famous Hungarian wine. In 1703, it was served at the French Royal
court at Versailles, as a gift to King Louis XIV of France. Madame de Pompadour referred to it as
“Vinum Regum, Rex Vinorum” or “King of Wines, Wine of Kings”.
Tokaj-Hegyalja is a historical wine region located in north-eastern Hungary, one of the country’s
seven largest wine regions. Tokaj was declared a World Heritage Site in 2002 and Tokaji Aszú is
the world's oldest botrytized wine. Historical records show that vineyards had been
established in Tokaj as early as the 12th century. Tokaj wine is, by its unique character, a luxury
commodity with a strong appeal in the international market.
After 1990, several Hungarian and foreign investors appeared in the wine region, introducing new
winemaking technologies, which resulted in the emergence of a new Aszú style. The long, humid,
sunny autumn favors ripening of the grapes. A visit to the cellar will provide an excellent
opportunity to meet the Tokaji Wine Order and taste the excellent wines.

12h00 Lunch at Stand Restaurant
Two Michelin Stars
165 euros pp
Dress Code - Business Suit with Chaines
As they say, Hungarian gastronomy is full of possibilities, and from the very start the owners have
felt that showcasing it in all its beauty and diversity is of the utmost importance. This is what
they strived at the previous restaurants, as well as at the Bocuse D’Or, and now at their own
restaurants at Stand25 and Stand.
As before, the very same precision, accuracy and elegance characterize the owners’ and the team’s
work. They place great emphasis on sustainable development, terroir, on working together
with Hungarian producers and, most importantly, on taste and flavours. The menu offers simple,
well-thought-out dishes, focusing on balanced flavours and harmonising ingredients.
Stand’s kitchen is a place of dynamic and passionate work, and the dishes are presented without
pomp and circumstance, accompanied by the very best Hungarian and European wines.
By now, Stand restaurant is one of our national treasures. We cannot be prouder of what they
achieved: they received the first Michelin star in 2019, just 9 months after the 2018 opening,
and Michelin Guide rewarded them with two stars in 2022.
