Romania is probably not the most famous wine producer in the world, but figures do place it among the largest in Europe and even worldwide. A trip to one of the local wineries can be an exciting experience due to the beautiful landscapes and the amazing wines tourists can discover there. In this article, we’ve selected wineries from different regions of Romania to consider for a visit this autumn.
1000 Chipuri Winery
Located about 80 km north of Bucharest and only 25 km of Ploiesti, the 1000 Chipuri Winery (which would translate as the 1000 Faces Winery) is an excellent choice for a short break in a quiet landscape away from the city noise. The vineyard is located in Urlati in the Dealu Mare region, one of the most famous in Romania, and covers more than 60 hectares.
Visitors can choose this winery for tastings, private parties, seminars, team buildings, or other types of events, as the offer also includes accommodation and dining options. Booking can be made by phone or email. Further details here.
Rotenberg Winery
Also in the Dealu Mare region, the Rotenberg winery, restored in 2007, invites visitors to discover the secrets of winemaking and try the wines produced here. Twenty-three hectares of vineyards are cultivated between the communes of Ceptura and Fantanele in Prahova county, growing mainly Merlot grapes (and also a little Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon).
Visitors can choose between different types of packages. For example, a visit + the tasting of 4 wines costs RON 75 per person (only for groups of minimum 4 persons). Bike tours or options for corporate events are also available. Find out more here.
La Salina Winery
Those planning to (re)discover the fantastic underground world of Turda Salt Mine (Salina Turda) should also add the La Salina Winery to their “to see” list. The vineyard is located in the immediate vicinity of Turda Salt Mine, more precisely about 100 meters from it, on the Durgau Hills, an area with a secular tradition in viticulture.
