Welcome to Golden Valley wine road
“Verbal tradition legend lives on love between Empress Maria Theresa and Francis Baron Trenk when she visited the basement, backed by wine for which the people say that had aphrodisiac properties. They stayed in the basement for one week, and we do not know what was happening down there, only that there was 70 written and 60 deleted dashes found on one of the walls. Which one of them has sought love clash counting starts from the beginning, when they got confused in the reckoning. How did the thick stone table remained with a pit will also remain secret. During your visit to the old basement you'll find out what do our hosts think of all of that, with the best wines from the "source".”
