"My connection with Paloznak was no coincidence. A deep-rooted attachment from childhood, my background in sailing, and a strong commitment to winemaking all led me – despite living in Budapest – to eventually put down roots here, in the Balaton Uplands. After a long search, I discovered the Hajnóczy vineyard near the village of Paloznak, where the house was built that has since become my second home. Years of dedicated work followed. What was still a bold dream until 2007 has now become reality. Although only a few years have passed since the first harvest in 2009, we have come a long way. I am proud that increasingly refined wines are being crafted in the cellar, and that the results of our work are now enjoyed not only by our family, but by a growing community of wine lovers in more and more places. The wines of the Homola Winery are the result of a shared creative process with Attila Homonna, the head winemaker of the estate. It is a collaboration filled with both passion and challenges. We both believe in achieving a 100% result and do not compromise." - Szabolcs Homola

The Bergmann confectioneries are named after the Bergmann family, where the craft of confectionery has a long-standing tradition. 

The first Bergmann Confectionery was opened in 1939 in Győr by our father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Imre Bergmann. To this day, we consider his professional dedication as an example to follow. Our confectioneries in Balatonfüred have been attracting lovers of sweet flavours since 1992 and 1999. A large proportion of our guests are regular customers, which is also due to the long-standing family principle that high-quality ingredients must never be replaced with inferior substitutes—only the best is acceptable. The selection of the confectionery includes a wide variety of delicacies: homemade pastries, cakes, ice cream, ice cream sundaes, bread, and specialty coffees.

For those with a sweet tooth, the name Bergmann will surely ring a bell. About a year and a half ago, we branched off from the family business and reopened the former Bergmann café under the name Little Bergmann (A kis Bergmann). 

Our pastry chefs, waitstaff, and baristas are like family to us, and everyone works with true dedication and professionalism. For us, the greatest feedback is a satisfied guest—and fortunately, we’ve had plenty of that recently. We are committed to quality and natural ingredients, and that’s something we will never compromise on. In addition to our handcrafted cakes and ice creams, our selection also includes our own chocolate figures and chocolate-coated treats. Preserving tradition is important to us, but we also strive to create something truly special. It’s well worth stopping by—we always have something new to surprise you with. We look forward to welcoming you at 1 Zsigmond Street,

Badacsonyi Rózsakő is one of the most famous natural landmarks of the Badacsony region.

The large, flat basalt rock is located on the hillside above the Kisfaludy House and is believed to have rolled down from the mountain in the distant past. The stone was named after Róza Szegedy, who according to tradition often sat here with the Hungarian poet Sándor Kisfaludy, admiring the beauty of Lake Balaton. Their romantic story inspired the local legend connected to the rock. According to local folklore, the Rózsakő has magical powers. It is said that if a girl and a boy sit on the stone together, holding hands with their backs turned to Lake Balaton, they will become a couple within the same year. Another version of the legend says that if a girl sits on the stone facing away from the lake and thinks of the person she loves, that person’s heart will soon belong to her. Next to the large table-like basalt block, a small resting area has been created with benches, tables and an information board for visitors. 

The stone gave its name to the Rózsakő grape variety, while the nearby historical house of Róza Szegedy and Sándor Kisfaludy can still be seen in the area today. The site is freely accessible and can be visited throughout the year.
