The village Erdőbénye has around 1000 inhabitants and is located 20 km from the town of Tokaj in Northern Hungary. It lies in a valley surrounded by mountains and vineyards, in the middle of the famous wine-region ‘Tokaj-Hegyalja’, in Borsod-Abauj-Zemplen County. The village is one of the centres for wine-production in this region. There are more cellars in the village, where the regional wines can be tasted. As the well-known old saying tells us: “Good wine, like Tokaj Aszu, needs a good wine-cask too…“, which is why the profession of cooper has a long tradition in this region. The coopers of Erdőbénye are the only ones in the world who have preserved the tradition of the dance of the coopers, which has been handed down from father to son, and which they perform every summer at the “Festival of Coopers.”

Erdőbénye is a picturesque town surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards, and forests. The town's history dates back to the 13th century and is known for its rich cultural heritage and Baroque architecture. The town square is the center of the community and is home to several historic buildings, including the 18th-century Town Hall and the Catholic Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

One of the main attractions of Erdőbénye is its wine culture. The town is located in the heart of the Tokaj wine region, known for producing some of the finest dessert wines in the world. You can visit several local wineries to sample the wines and learn about the winemaking process.
