Villány wine region organizes a two day long event in November 4th time. The main thematic is Villányi Franc. In Villány premium red wines sold as Villányi Franc are made from year to year in excellent quality. So it is not a coincidence that this variety has a conference and a tasting day. The guest of this year’s Franc&Franc event is the New World so beside Villány wines there will be Californian, South-African and Chilean wines too.
