• University’s Square - The private tour guide will collect guests from their hotel in Bucharest and, during the journey to the first destination, will provide an overview of the day’s itinerary.

After a drive of just under two hours, guests will arrive in Dealu Mare, Romania’s leading wine region—a true haven for wine enthusiasts. Similar to Bordeaux or Tuscany, Dealu Mare is located along the 45th parallel, offering an ideal climate for producing rich, velvety wines, especially reds.

On this exclusive wine-tasting adventure, guests will visit two boutique wineries, tour their facilities, and sample 12 exquisite wines, including indigenous Romanian varieties like Fetească Neagră, expertly paired with local cheese and charcuterie. As they travel between estates along the historic Old Wine Road, they can enjoy the beauty of restored manors and rolling vineyard-covered hills.

• LacertA Winery - The first stop on the boutique winery tour is Lacerta Winery, renowned for its elegant modern design, state-of-the-art facilities, and top-tier wines. Local experts will lead a private tour of the vineyard and wine cellars, where guests will learn about Lacerta’s unique winemaking philosophy, from vine to bottle. Despite its modern approach, Lacerta is deeply rooted in tradition, with winemaking techniques that incorporate gravitational principles, minimizing the use of pumps to preserve the wine’s integrity.

After the tour, guests can indulge in a tasting of 6 exquisite wines, including Romania’s signature Fetească Neagră, paired with a selection of premium cheeses and charcuterie. This offers a full sensory experience that highlights the region’s rich flavors, all set against the backdrop of stunning vineyard-covered hills that stretch endlessly around the estate.

• 1000 Faces Winery - The tour continues with a visit to 1000 Chipuri Winery, a family-owned boutique blending traditional techniques with innovative wine production. Guests can explore the estate, where the guide will share the winery’s philosophy and its dedication to fine wines.
  Before the second wine-tasting, guests can opt for a traditional Romanian lunch, savoring authentic local flavors. The tasting includes six carefully selected wines, paired with cheese, cured meats, and dried fruits. Guests will also sample a couple of wines directly from stainless steel tanks, gaining insight into the aging process. Fetească Neagră, a standout Romanian red, is a must-try, alongside Cabernet Franc and Tămâioasă Românească, often compared to dry Muscat.
  After an unforgettable day of wine tasting and cultural immersion, guests can relax as they return to Bucharest. The guide will drop them off at their hotel, leaving them with lasting memories of a premium experience in one of Romania’s finest wine regions. In vino veritas!
