Having a private driver, Claudio, was the best. We got to have a somewhat tailored experience, including stopping for a coffee and breakfast pastry, turning around to get better pictures, and pulling over at a roadside stand to check out a local fruit to try. Sea Buckhorn is an acquired taste no doubt, though good for you, and, though we passed on the purchase, was part of the local flavor. The winery provided four different wines to taste with a charcuterie board with local cheese and meat that was fantastic. Our host was very knowledgeable about wine making and the industry, and we got to taste a couple of wines from the barrels, with one not available for purchase that was superb. Claudia was easy to be with and fun, and driving through the Romanian countryside made a joyful and relaxing day.

What a great experience ! Do this tour
Fantastic experience!,, this tour exceeded our expectations
The salt mine visit is very nice. There is no tour guide so you walk around on your own. It is very interesting. I had never seen a salt mine before.
The wine tasting is incredible. It is a personal tasting with you and the sommelier. You get to go into the warehouse and taste wine from the casks. It is amazing ,,,
I highly recommend this tour

Enjoyed the trip
We had a wonderful time at the mines and the winery. Our guide Christian was excellent and very informative. The size of the salt mine was quite impressive and we enjoyed walking around the area. Being December it appears a number of vineyards were closed but we really enjoyed our visit to 1000 du Chipuri.
