Dörgicse is a village in Veszprém county, Hungary.

It consists of three hamlets (Felsõdörgicse, Alsódörgicse and Kisdörgicse) built on separate hills[1] 4.3 km (2.7 m) north of Lake Balaton.[2] Dörgicse is famous for the wine production[3] and its three medieval churches[4] which were devastated during the Turkish wars in the 16th and 17th centuries.[5]
