The adventure through the world of Romanian wine often begins among the sun-drenched hills and history-filled manor houses. This route will guide you through the most representative wineries and vineyards in the center of the country.
The Traditional Winemaking Process
In the centuries-old stone cellars, the technique has remained almost unchanged for centuries. Grapes of native varieties such as Fetească Neagră or Grasă de Cotnari are harvested by hand and poured into French oak barrels to gain complexity.
Professional tastings are led by sommeliers who explain each aromatic note, from vanilla to dried plums, offering an unforgettable educational experience.
Expert Tip:
For a complete experience, plan your visit in the autumn, during the harvest period, when activity is at its peak and the atmosphere is electric.
Accommodation in Historic Manor Houses
Many wineries offer the possibility to stay right on their premises, in tastefully restored manor houses. Spacious rooms, with period furniture and vineyard views, turn a simple visit into a mini-vacation.
- Averești Vineyard Manor – offers guided tours in the morning and traditional dinner in the evening.
- Sâmburești Domains Winery Villa – known for its private garden and pool with a view of the vineyard.
- Avrig Wine Castle – a perfect combination of history, architecture, and passion for wine.
