Description
Did you know that Romania is the world’s 12th largest wine producer with over 2000 years of viticulture tradition? Enjoy a private and informative wine tasting session at the first wine bar reopened in Bucharest after the 1989 revolution! Treat yourself with 4 different varieties of premium Romanian wines along with a plate of traditional cheese and charcuterie. Your private guide will help you discover the distinctive flavor of Dealu Mare’s famous vineyards and tell you about the wine making process so that you may understand the secrets behind the perfect taste. To put everything into context, the guide will also share stories about the struggles of the winemakers during the soviet occupation era, the confiscation of vineyards and how the industry managed to rejuvenate itself after the chaos of the 1989 revolution and the fall of communism!

Wine tasting in Bucharest
This is an outstanding tour at a reasonable price. Our guide, Mihai, was very knowledgeable about the wines and the meats and cheeses were delicious. We had no idea Romanian wines were this good. But the best part was the knowledge and enthusiasm Mihai has for Romania and surrounding areas. His discussions and answer to our many questions motivated us to consider coming back on a tour he would lead in Bucharest and surrounding areas like Transylvania. What a blast! This wine tasting tour is not to be missed.

Great experience!
This was a great experience. In addition to the delicious wines, sausages, and cheeses, our guide Emma was very personable and knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. We learned a lot about Romania and its recent history through her, and we highly recommend her as a guide for this tasting. It was our favorite experience of our honeymoon!
