Celebrate the Start of Summer with Rosé and Sunshine

If you’re visiting Budapest in early June, there’s no better way to welcome summer than with a glass of rosé at the Rosalia Wine Picnic 2026. Held from June 4 to 7, this four-day celebration transforms City Park (Városliget) into a joyful garden party filled with wine, music, and great food. It’s one of Budapest’s most cheerful open-air festivals, drawing locals and visitors alike for an unforgettable start to summer.

A Toast to Summer in City Park

Rosalia captures the essence of summer in Budapest — sunshine, smiles, and chilled drinks in a scenic park setting. Imagine enjoying a lazy afternoon on a picnic blanket surrounded by greenery, music drifting from the stage, and the clinking of glasses all around. As evening falls, live bands and DJs turn the park into a lively open-air lounge, creating a laid-back yet festive atmosphere that lasts well into the night.

Located near the famous Heroes’ Square and Széchenyi Thermal Bath, Városliget offers the perfect backdrop for this stylish outdoor festival. The setting allows visitors to pair their wine experience with a bit of sightseeing or a leisurely walk around City Park Lake.

Tastes and Aromas to Savor

At Rosalia, wine is celebrated in all its refreshing forms — from pale pink rosés to fizzy proseccos and sparkling champagnes. Dozens of Hungarian wineries from across the country present their best vintages, giving visitors the chance to sample and compare local favorites. For those seeking something unique, winemakers are happy to share insights about their grapes, regions, and production methods.

No picnic is complete without great food. The festival’s street food section offers something for every taste — from gourmet burgers and grilled delicacies to vegan bites and sweet desserts. It’s easy to spend the entire day enjoying small plates, chatting with friends, and finding new favorite flavors.

Family-Friendly Festival Spirit

While wine takes center stage, Rosalia is designed for everyone. Families can join in the fun, with safe open spaces, children’s programs, and afternoon entertainment suitable for all ages. The relaxed festival vibe makes it easy to meet locals, mingle with other travelers, and enjoy an authentic slice of Budapest’s social life.

Practical Visitor Information

For international visitors, things couldn’t be simpler. City Park (Városliget) is centrally located and easy to reach by public transportation. The closest stops include Hősök tere (Heroes’ Square) on Metro line M1 (the yellow line), which drops you right by the festival entrance.

Although most areas are open to stroll through freely, visitors who plan to taste wines will need a festival wine glass, available for purchase on-site. Payment at vendors is typically cashless — accepted cards and festival tokens make transactions quick and convenient.

The event runs from Thursday, June 4 to Sunday, June 7, 2026, with music and wine tastings throughout the day and into the night. Entry is family-friendly, and children can enter for free. Advanced ticket or glass packages are sometimes available online before the event.
