Tokaj wine region or Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region is a historical wine region located in northeastern Hungary and southeastern Slovakia. It is also one of the seven larger wine regions of Hungary.
The region consists of 28 named villages and 11,149 hectares of classified vineyards, of which an estimated 5,500 are currently planted.
Wine has been produced in the area for over 1000 years, and Tokaji wine is well known around the world. Emperor Fraz Josef would frequently send out wine from this region as a gift to other European leaders. The most popular wines from the Tokaj region are sweet wines, which have been made from grapes which are affected by a non-harmful type of fungus, which is often called “noble rot”.
