WINE & ART
The four natural factors – soil, air, fire (sun) and water – can be found in wine and pottery as well. In this Wine and Craft Studio the natural factors are present in the form of wine and in different interior decorative ornaments.
The concept of our shop was formed by the trades of two sisters, wine making and pottery. They wanted to show the connection under one roof, therefore their Wine and Handcraft Shop was opened in 2013 in the cultural part of Bartók Béla út, in the XIth district of Budapest.

She was part of the rebirth of Hungarian wine making in the 80s and 90s as one of the main organizers of the International Wine Festival in Budapest.
