What it is
The Szépasszony-völgy, the Valley of the Beautiful Woman, is an amphitheatre of cellars cut into volcanic tuff about a 20-minute walk south-west of the centre. According to the tourist office, it is Eger's first tasting place. Each cellar has its own door and its tables inside or outside, and you go from one to another trying wine from the barrel: Egri Bikavér ("bull's blood"), the region's red blend, and Egri Csillag, the white.
One cellar
