The Zalai Borvidék developed in Zala on the slopes and plateaus of the Zalai-dombság and on the northwestern slopes of the Keszthelyi-hegység. It comprises two wine-growing districts and 38 settlements. Kis-Balaton also shapes the regional picture: it is the largest body of water in Zala, is under strict protection, and covers 14,745 hectares. It is also the setting for István Fekete’s classic novels Tüskevár and Téli berek.

Historical points of interest include the ruins of Rezi vár. They stand atop the 418-metre-high dolomite ridge of Meleg-hegy and offer a view of the Zalaszántó Basin. In Keszthely stands Festetics kastély, Hungary’s fourth-largest castle, with 101 rooms. At Kotsy-vízimalom in Zalaszántó, visitors can see a 390 cm overshot waterwheel mechanism in operation.
