about us


We are not sommeliers. We are not even “we”. It’s just me, Alexandra — marketing mind by trade, storyteller and explorer at heart. Based in Copenhagen, with Hungarian roots. This passion project began with a simple question:

“Why are some of Hungary’s most exciting wines almost impossible to find here?”

So I began building a bridge. Sharing these wines feels a bit like stepping into grandma’s attic — uncovering forgotten treasures.

WHAT WE DO


Kárpát Tales curates and imports lesser-known wines straight from small Hungarian producers — especially bottles that hardly ever leave the country.

What we stand for

Native grapes, overlooked regions

From volcanic hills to the sunny southern plains, we celebrate Hungary’s diverse wine culture through native grapes and lesser-known regions.

Low-intervention philosophy

Our wines are madewith minimal intervention from winemakers who farm sustainably and let nature take the lead — no additives, no shortcuts.

Thoughtful curation

We work closely with independent winemakers we know personally, carefully selecting authentic wines that reflect terroir, tradition, and the story it tells about Hungary’s evolving natural wine scene.
