What you'll see
A horseshoe of small wine cellars dug into the soft rock of a valley just outside town, their doors opening onto a lane with tables outside. Wine is poured straight from the barrel.
A brief history
Eger is known for its red Bull's Blood (Egri Bikavér); one story says the name came from the castle's defenders, whose beards were stained red by the wine they drank in 1552.
