The settlement has the largest territory in Hungary, it is almost built together with the neighbouring Keszthely and Hévíz, and is only a few km from Rezi. As a result, it is a significant spot of tourism. It has 2,271 inhabitants, most of whom are involved in tourism by providing accommodation or catering services to visitors.
The symbol of Cserszegtomaj is the Margaret look-out tower, where an elevator is available for visitors. The 52 m deep and 3 km long well-cave can be visited with guidance. The impressive building of the Castle Theatre houses a museum today. Cserszegi Fűszeres, the wine speciality of the region, which won a world competition in England, was named after the village. The wine route association aims to make the wine well-known.
