Balatonlelle is a resort town located in Hungary on the southern shore of Lake Balaton, about 35 km west of Siófok. It is known for its numerous tourist attractions, some of those being a 3 km long beach, an aqua park, a go-cart course, and an annual wine festival. It is reachable from Budapest by train (approximately 2.5 hours). It is a family-oriented tourist resort during the summer season. Some other attractions also include a public grass beach and bars located around the town. The wine festival is often held in the first week of August.

The settlement is part of the Balatonboglár wine region. ^[2]
