Known as the biggest salt mine in Europe, Slanic Prahova stands today for one of the most important watering and climatic resorts in Romania, situated between the valley of Prahova and that of Teleajen, at about 44 km of Ploiesti, at 400 meters of altitude. Unique in the country, but also in Europe, the salt mine is formed out of 14 rooms, trapezium shaped, with an opening of 32 meters at the basis, 10 meters at the ceiling and 45 meters height. The total area is of 78,000 m2 and the excavated space is of 2,9 millions m3 of salt.
Situated on the top of a hill and surrounded by beautiful countryside, Dorobantu Manor and its wine cellar were built in 1901 and restored by current owners in 2005. Visit the cellars where the wines are aged and learn about the use of oak barrels to mature the wine. Breathe in the smell of the cellar and the aroma of wine, hear the gentle sound of bottles being carefully moved and the echo of voices. Discover the steps to the wine tasting and try a selection of a great range of wines.

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
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.
