Sopron Wine Road


Sopron is considered to be the capital of the Blaufränkisch (Hungarian “Kékfrankos”) - a wine local people are rightly proud of and which we can warmly recommend to the visitors of Sopron, too.

But where can you taste this noble drink?


Sopron’s vineyards cover about 1500 hectares (3,700 acres); while the best soil for growing grapes is on the slopes of the Lajta hills around Lake Fertő. The secret of the grapes cultivated around Lake Fertő is not the reflection of the water, but the fact that during the day warms the air above the lake and then wafts over the vineyards during the night. Fertőrákos, Kópháza, Balf, Fertőboz, Harka, Fertőszentmiklós and, since the year 2000, the area around Kőszeg are all counted among the vineyards of Sopron. Some two thirds of Sopron wines are made from Kékfrankos.

As the legend has it, in 1809 Napoleon’s soldiers could only buy wine from the local inhabitants for the more valuable blue Franc notes, which is why the best Sopron wine was given the name “Blue Franc” - Kékfrankos. It must be admitted though that at that time, it was mostly white wines which were produced in and around Sopron and it was only after the grape phylloxera, during the second half of the 19th century that the Blaufränkisch gained ground.
