The combination of different artistic disciplines provides visitors with the opportunity to get to know Lake Balaton from a completely new perspective.
Program overview
In the spring of 2026, TASTE BALATON Festival will once again kick off the Balaton spring season: during the 10-day event, you can expect a real gastronomic and cultural extravaganza if you visit the region. The festival's programs are hosted by the best restaurants around Lake Balaton, which are open all year round: exclusive tastings, gastronomic tours, concert dinners, wine tastings, literary discussions, guest chef presentations, professional and scientific lectures, international guests, countless workshops, exhibitions, and a glimpse behind the scenes of the restaurant.
Discover the new face of Lake Balaton and get out and about to recharge your batteries! As co-organizer of the program, BalatonBike365 encourages you to hop on an electric bike and discover the countryside and other festival venues between the two events as part of the TASTE BALATON + program.
