Wine and dine

The hills are rich in forests and wildlife supply the cuisine of Zala and Göcsej with valuable ingredients. Those who visit our restaurants can taste traditional local cuisine, and in quite a few places you can also experience culinary offerings with a modern twist. Although Zalaegerszeg is the largest city in Zala County, the locals still maintain the hospitality of the surrounding smaller settlements. People visiting here always get a smile or a few nice words from the locals.
We also hold a several gastro-cultural events throughout the year. In May we have a Street Food Weekend aimed at a younger crowd. A reinvented, modern version of Göcsej’s dishes can be tasted at the Village Museum’s Village Food Festival. We are organizing a Prósza (a traditional Hungarian version of the hash brown) Festival in June and at the end of August we have an event for the fans of gamey dishes at the national Game Stew and Wine Festival. The gastronomic events are accompanied by concerts, fairs and varied miscellaneous programs.
