Where a brief stop turns into a long conversation, where no one is in a hurry, and where the quiet feels just as good as a story shared over a glass of wine.
Three new gossip benches await you at the Etyeki Kúria Sparkling Estate, offering a place to pause for a while, sit down, take in the view, and soak up the atmosphere of Etyek’s Öreghegy.
An old tradition worth keeping alive
Gossip benches once played an important role in village life. Locals would gather on benches set out by the houses and courtyards along the street, chatting, exchanging news, and sharing the day-to-day happenings. No special occasion was needed: a spare half hour, a familiar face, or a good conversation was all it took.
We wanted to bring that atmosphere to life at the Sparkling Estate, too. We’ve created places where there’s no itinerary to follow and nowhere you need to hurry off to. Just sit down and enjoy being right where you are.
A glass of wine, a picnic basket, a good conversation
Imagine sitting down on one of the benches, with the grapevines in front of you and the peace of the estate all around. You might take a few delicious bites from your picnic basket, pour a glass of Etyeki Kúria wine or sparkling wine, or sip a local fruit syrup or a good coffee from Etyek.
You can catch up with friends you haven’t seen in ages, share a story, or simply sit quietly and watch the vineyards. There’s no recipe to follow and no expectations. What matters is that you enjoy yourselves.
The Sparkling Estate is yours!
We want you to feel like more than just guests when you visit us; we want you to feel a little at home, too. We hope you find a favorite spot, a bench you’ll be happy to return to next time, or a moment you’ll enjoy looking back on later.
Next time you visit the Sparkling Estate, find one of the three gossip benches! Sit down, pour yourself a drink, and let the conversation—or the silence—complete your Etyek experience.
Because sometimes the best plan is not having to hurry off anywhere.
