Romania · WINE TOURS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 10 wine tastings justify the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes rather than an evening.
Taste five premium Romanian wines at Abel’s Wine Bar in Bucharest, with local grape stories, generous food pairings, and takeaway bottles.
“Loved this. The guy was very knowledgeable about wines and showed us where each one came from. We tasted high end wines, the platter was plentiful and went really well with the wine”
Tour Peles and Cantacuzino castles from Bucharest with Sinaia Monastery, Carpathian scenery, Romanian wine, cheese, and private transport.
“Great sights and a packed day, but we lost 2 extra hours in traffic due to congestion on the only road. This was not the guides fault, but we were not warned about this while booking the tour. Florian was a pleasant guide, but we later learned he didn't mention some of the highligjts e.g. did not tell us that there was an elevator installed for queen Mary at Bran at the location of the courtyard well, etc.. Also, it would have been nice to at least have some alone time for coffee/lunch and not to have the guide with us all the time. Also, we did not get inside…”
Explore Slănic Prahova Salt Mine, dine at a vineyard, and visit Dracula’s supposed grave on a private day trip from Bucharest.
“Salt mine was amazing, but other .. .. and this tour package only for transport with guide, that’s it , all other need extra .”
Taste Oradea through local wines, Romanian dishes, craft beer, desserts, and historic landmarks on a private half-day walking tour.
“We recently did a walking food tour in Odea, and it was truly an amazing experience! Our guide Calin took great care in selecting each restaurant, ensuring we had an authentic taste of the local cuisine. Each stop felt thoughtfully chosen, showcasing food that locals genuinely enjoy. Calin was incredibly gracious and made us feel welcome throughout the tour. The pacing was perfect—just the right amount of walking between tastings, allowing us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. While the focus was definitely on the food, he also shared interesting bits of history that enriched the experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Odea’s food…”
Taste five premium Romanian wines in Bucharest Old Town with a friendly local guide, generous cheese and meat platter, and stories from 2,600 years of winemaking.
“Very good experience! The wine was so nice we brought two bottles!!”
Taste more than ten Romanian wines at LacertA and Budureasca wineries on an 8-hour Bucharest day trip through the sub-Carpathian hills.
“the guide did not manage time between vineyards well, actual wine tasting was shorter than the sommelier history on the vineyard. Because of this poor management lunch was skipped and the guide had a verbal disagreement with the second vineyard sommelier, yet the second vineyard had better time management between the history and the wine tasting”
Travel from Iasi to Chisinau, visit Capriana Monastery, and explore Cricova Winery on a private Moldova day trip with wine tasting.
“Our guide made this trip a winner. He was very personable and a library of knowledge. He answered ALL our questions and accommodated us by taking us to a place we asked to see in Chisinau and to a souvenir store. I suggest you do your research as there are not many tourist attractions in Chisinau. The winery tour, provided by the winery, was nice and we learned a lot.”
Explore Romanian village life, folk crafts, and local wines on a private Bucharest tour with hotel pickup and a guide.
“Mihai our host was an absolute pleasure and very knowledgeable about the history of Romania, the life of romanian peasants in the last few centuries, and romanian wine (my girlfriends favourite part of the tour!) I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bucharest, anyone with even a passing interest in history and wine will have a great time with this excellent guide. The Village museum itself is a wonderful experience, the centuries old churches were a particular highlight, the artwork adorning it is stunning”
Cycle through Romania’s Dealu Mare wine country, visit Bellu manor, and taste local wines with transfers, bikes, snacks, and a small group.
“We had an excellent experience on this tour with Oana! She picked us up on time in clean and safe transport to take us to Dealu Mare. The bikes were great quality and the route boasted magnificent views before the main events - wine tasting! We visited two vineyards where we were greeted by friendly hosts, tours of the facilities, plenty of nibbles, and superb selection of wines! Certainly not shy with the pours either! Highly recommended tour!”
Taste five Romanian wines with local cheeses, salami, zacuscă, and bread in Bucharest’s Old Town during this two-hour pairing.
“Darius was a fantastic sommelier and the wines were fantastic 👏 the rose is my new favourite wine 🍷 the only small thing was that we were only served breadsticks and crackers but our ticket came with cheese, meats and breads and there was some confusion as they didn't think our ticket covered that but once it was served it was delicious. thank you for a lovely afternoon :)”
