The Tokaj area in northeastern Hungary has been a world-famous wine-producing region for centuries. It has been designated a World Heritage Site, and now Hungary has honored that development with another in its long-term series of Hungarian World Heritage Sites.

This stamp is a mix of two photographs — at the top, a view across the vineyards of Tarcal’s Terézia Hill, and at the bottom a look at a row of wine cellars in Tolcsva. A legend at the top of the stamp says “Tokaji történelmi borvidék”, Hungarian for “historic Tokaj wine region”. The face value of the issue is HUF 290.
