Overview

Discover Romania’s Hidden Wine Gem on an Exclusive Private Tour.

Escape the ordinary with a private wine tasting tour from Bucharest to Dealu Mare—often called Romania’s “Bordeaux.” Designed for discerning travelers, this intimate day trip from Bucharest offers a boutique winery experience and premium wine tasting, free from crowds or shared buses.

Accompanied by a licensed, English-speaking tour guide, visit two exceptional wineries—Lacerta and 1000 Chipuri—sampling 12 exquisite local Romanian wines, including signature varieties like Fetească Neagră, paired with artisanal cheese and charcuterie. Travel the scenic Old Wine Road, passing rolling vineyards and elegantly restored manors that tell the story of Romania’s rich winemaking heritage.

Tailored for seasoned travelers who appreciate premium, personalized experiences yet equally inviting for casual wine lovers, this exclusive wine tour offers a refined journey into the heart of Romanian wine culture.
