Villánykövesd is a tourist favourite, and the three-storey cellar village is a frequent subject for painters and photographers. The listed cellar is one of the most spectacular monumental ensembles in the country.
The cellars' distinctive colourful doors are open to visitors all year round, allowing them to see the current stages of wine-making, the tools and tools of the trade, and to taste the flavours of wine that praise the work of farmers and nature. From the cellar door, you can see the 2-hectare park with a playground for children.
