Lajver Winery can host small conferences, team-building days, exclusive dinners, family events and weddings in an event hall for about 80 to 100 guests, with 22 rooms on the same estate. The winery lies in the Lajvér valley at Szálka, in the Szekszárd wine region of southern Hungary. It is a modern estate built into a hillside, with a visitor center, a bistro, a tasting room and a cellar.
Seminars and company events
The official site describes the event hall as a place for team-building trainings, smaller conferences, partner meetings and family meetings. The bistro hall holds about 80 to 90 people according to the bistro page, and the home page quotes 80. A tasting and a cellar visit can follow the working session, which gives a group a program that stays on site.
The estate also lists other services around events: e-bike rental, off-road tours, trips by air or boat, team-building, hunting and fishing, and transfers. The team says it helps with both planning and execution.
Weddings and receptions
The event hall opened in August 2017 for couples who choose the estate for their wedding. Wedding packages include an outdoor ceremony and a gourmet menu served as a buffet or on platters. Wine packages can run for up to ten hours. The estate also hosts a wedding inspiration day with suppliers, and the team offers wedding planning.

History and setting
The winery blends into the slope of the Lajvér stream valley. Its straight lines and stepped contours stand out from the landscape and echo the terraces of the hillside. The processing area and the cellar sit 30 m below ground, and use gravity and the natural heat storage of the earth for gentle handling of the grapes. Hungarian and foreign specialists helped to design it.
Getting there
The estate is at Szálka, 7121, Hungary. It can be reached by car only; the site states that there is no public transport. Event, wedding and accommodation requests go to the contacts listed on the bistro page, on weekdays.
