Bucharest · WINE TOURS
Romania has been making wine for thousands of years and exports almost none of it. These 15 tastings run from Old Town cellars to the Dealu Mare estates an hour north, priced by how many glasses and how much lunch each includes.
Taste five Romanian wines at Abel's Wine Bar in Bucharest Old Town, paired with cheese and meat, in English, about 2 hours.
“The host was very friendly and he provided very good info about the Romanian wines. The cheese&meats platter is very good, it also comes with an amazing chilli jam.”
Cozy Bucharest wine tasting at Corks with 5 Romanian wines, expert guidance, and snacks, including standout rose Busuioacă de Bohotin.
“Ovi was very knowledgeable, he had a great sense of humour and out you straight at ease. The wines chosen were lovely and there was no rush with them and to move on. Will go again when back in Bucharest 😁😁”
Private day trip from Bucharest to Peleș and Cantacuzino castles, Sinaia Monastery, plus a 3-wine tasting and Romanian snacks.
“Embarking on an adventurous exploration of Eastern Europe with friends, we stumbled upon a real treasure - Romania! This captivating country emerged as the highlight of our journey, creating memories we'll cherish. The historical magnificence of Peleș and Cantacuzino Castles left us awe-struck. I wholeheartedly give it a 5-star rating, urging fellow explorers to experience this trip.”
Private 9-hour Bucharest day trip to a deep salt mine, a big planetarium, winery lunch, and Snagov Monastery linked to Dracula.
“Radu gave a great tour! He is very knowledgeable and caring. The mines were breathtaking, lunch at the winery was delicious and Vlads tomb was very interesting! Altogether a great tour, with a great guide!”
Private Romanian wine tasting at Abel’s Wine Bar in Bucharest with 5 premium wines and cheese, taught by an English guide. 2 hours.
“If you're looking for an exceptional wine-tasting experience in Bucharest, Abel’s Wine Bar is a must-visit. They offers a carefully curated selection of Romanian wines from small wineries and different regions, guided by an incredibly knowledgeable sommelier who elevates the experience. During the tasting, we explored five distinct wines, each with a unique character. The sommelier, with both passion and expertise, shared fascinating insights about the winemaking process, regional grape varieties. The experience was well-paced, educational, and truly immersive.”
Enjoy two guided winery stops from Bucharest, taste 10+ Romanian wines, learn winemaking traditions, and soak up quiet Sub-Carpathian countryside.
“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”
Bucharest village life and wine in one 5-hour private tour, with museum stops, handmade crafts, and a Dealu Mare tasting.
“Our guide, Mihai Vataselu, is intelligent, personable, knowledgeable, and entertaining. He is one of the best tour guides we have had the pleasure to meet. His knowledge and English skills made our tour of the Village Museum in Bucharest much more than just seeing old buildings. We learned about the area of the country and the how and why the people living there created the homes they did. Mihai selected a boutique winery shop for our last stop where we sampled four delicious Romanian wines and a charcuterie plate of meats and cheeses while learning the history of Romanian wine making and getting to know each other. We highly recommend…”
Small-group Bucharest day trip to Unirea Salt Mine, Casa Seciu winery lunch, and Snagov Monastery, including Dracula’s grave.
“Honestly think this was an overpriced tour with nothing included for the price. Only one big thing was the salt mine and that is only reason why giving it two stars. As far as our tour guide? Not happy! He barely spoke and most of the time, we would ask something just to engage in a conversation. Over 15yrs of using Viator tours and have to say this was the first time we encountered a tour guide who barely talked.”
Taste 5 Romanian wines with cheese, salami, spreads and zacuscă in Bucharest Old Town. 2 hours of guided pairing.
“I paid for the wine and food pairing but only received some cubes of cheese with crackers and no other food to pair with the wines. I didn't receive anything with the first wine so asked the sommelier about the pairings and he said he would bring the snacks later so they would last for all of the wines. As he brought the second wine he brought the cheese and crackers. That was the only food I received, not what was advertised when I booked it. I believe I got the experience that I would have received if I'd just booked the wine tasting rather than the food pairing experience…”
Sip five Romanian wine styles at Abel’s Wine Bar in Bucharest, with cheese and charcuterie pairings plus tuica at the end.
“Amazing experience at Abel’s. Very knowledgeable and delicious wines. I couldn’t believe all the wineries that existed in Romania. The wine was wonderful. The charboard didn’t disappoint either. Must do!”
Private tour from Bucharest to Unirea Salt Mine, a Romanian winery lunch stop at Casa Seciu, and Snagov’s Dracula Grave site.
“We had a really great time! Bogdan, my tour guide for that day was perfectly informed about everything and I really enjoyed to explore those new places with so many new information. He is a very kind and funny person, someone I enjoyed being around. The weather was perfect, and I luckily was well dressed, because it was really cold in the salt mine. All in all a great experience and I would love to do it again! So I fully recommend you this Tour accompanied by Bogdan!”
Private day tour from Bucharest to Unirea Salt Mine, Berca mud volcanoes, and Lacerta Winery wine tasting, with pickup and guide.
“The driver and guide Mihai is very friendly and accommodating. He communicated with me prior to the tour by email and phone. He is also a very careful driver and thoughtful enough to slow down or stop the car when I wanted to take pictures along the way. I decided to take this tour because I wanted to visit some rural areas away from Bucharest. Visiting the salt mine was a very unique experience. I was impressed by the scale of it. The salty air feels good in the lungs too. Lacerta winery is a small winery focused more on the quality than quantity. Learning the wine making process as…”
Private 10-hour Dealu Mare wine tour from Bucharest with 12 wines, two boutique wineries, and cheese pairings on the Old Wine Road.
“We spent an incredible day touring the Dealu Mare wine region with guide Mihai Vateselu. Great personality, lots of fun, and very knowledgeable about the area (and Bucharest/Romania in general). Dealu Mare is the best red wine-producing area in Romania and Mihai's selection of wineries to visit highlighted the quality, tragic history, beauty, and growing potential of the area. This is a tour not to be missed with Mihai!!”
Cycle Romania’s Dealu Mare wine country with stops at Bellu Manor and two wineries, including tastings, snacks, and guided support.
“Our guide and owner of this amazing experience was lonuts. He is incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about the areas visited and Romania in general. He made sure the bikes were adjusted just right for each of us before we started. The bikes he provided were in excellent condition. The entire journey was approximately 18 miles. He provided each of us with a bottle of water. We stopped several times to make sure we were okay and to rest. The journey took us through several small towns, fields of sunflowers and grape vines. Our stay at the vineyard was one of the best we have ever experienced. We had an…”
