PODMANICZKY WINERY
Balatonföldvár and Kőröshegy together create the kind of setting a complete Balaton getaway can be built around. The accommodation offers the comfort and summer atmosphere of the lakeside town, while the winery invites you into the hills, into the world of vineyards.
NATURE
On the southern shore of Lake Balaton, the landscape is at once open and calm: the closeness of the lake, the slopes of Kőröshegy, the rows of vines and the quiet rhythm of the Somogy hills give the place its character.
In Balatonföldvár, the lake sets the rhythm. A few kilometres inland, vineyards, hillsides and quiet already take over. This closeness is what makes the area special: within a few minutes you can go from the beach to the wine region. After the bustle of the shore, here the landscape, the wine and nature take the lead. This is the Balaton we love to show our guests.
