A Journey Through Romania's Liquid Gold

Bucharest serves as the perfect gateway to one of Europe’s most underrated wine cultures. As the world's 13th largest wine producer, Romania offers a rich tapestry of indigenous grapes like the bold Fetească Neagră and the crisp Fetească Regală. Our curated selection of wine experiences in Bucharest ranges from intimate evening sessions at historic Old Town wine bars to full-day excursions to the Dealu Mare region—often called the 'Bordeaux of Romania.' Whether you are a casual enthusiast or a seasoned connoisseur, booking through our platform connects you with certified sommeliers and award-winning wineries to ensure a sophisticated and educational experience that goes far beyond the glass.

Sophisticated and Educational

A fantastic introduction to Romanian wines. The sommelier in the Old Town was incredibly knowledgeable about the Dealu Mare region. Highly recommend the cheese pairing!

Surprising Quality

I come from a wine country, and I was blown away by the Fetească Neagră. The private tour was seamless and the winery visit was world-class. Great value for money.

Excellent Afternoon Activity

Spent 2 hours learning about local grapes. It's a great way to escape the heat and learn some history. The 'long version' with 8 wines is definitely the way to go.

Lovely Old Town Experience

The wine bar we visited was so charming. It felt very authentic and not like a tourist trap. The local sausages were delicious too.

Loved the vibe of the cellar. The wines were top tier and the explanation of the different terroirs was fascinating. Best thing I did in the city.
