Escape the ordinary with a private wine tasting tour from Bucharest to Dealu Mare—often called Romania’s “Bordeaux.” Designed for discerning travelers, this intimate day trip from Bucharest offers a boutique winery experience and premium wine tasting, free from crowds or shared buses.

Accompanied by a licensed, English-speaking tour guide, visit two exceptional wineries—Lacerta and 1000 Chipuri—sampling 12 exquisite local Romanian wines, including signature varieties like Fetească Neagră, paired with artisanal cheese and charcuterie. Travel the scenic Old Wine Road, passing rolling vineyards and elegantly restored manors that tell the story of Romania’s rich winemaking heritage.

Tailored for seasoned travelers who appreciate premium, personalized experiences yet equally inviting for casual wine lovers, this exclusive wine tour offers a refined journey into the heart of Romanian wine culture.

Your private tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Bucharest and, during the drive to your first stop, will provide an overview of the day’s experience. After a drive of just under two hours, you’ll arrive in Dealu Mare, Romania’s premier wine region—a true escape for wine lovers. Much like Bordeaux or Tuscany, Dealu Mare sits along the 45th parallel, boasting an ideal climate for producing rich, velvety wines, particularly reds. On this exclusive wine-tasting journey, you’ll visit two boutique wineries, tour their facilities, and sample 12 exquisite wines, including indigenous Romanian varieties like Fetească Neagră, expertly paired with local cheese and charcuterie. As you travel between estates along the historic Old Wine Road, take in the beauty of restored manors and rolling vineyard-covered hills.

Admission Not Applicable

LacertA Winery

The first stop on your boutique winery tour is Lacerta Winery, renowned for its elegant modern design, state-of-the-art facilities, and top-tier wines. Local experts will lead you through a private tour of the vineyard and wine cellars, where you'll learn about Lacerta's unique winemaking philosophy, from vine to bottle. Despite its modern approach, Lacerta is deeply rooted in tradition, with winemaking techniques that incorporate gravitational principles, minimizing the use of pumps to preserve the wine’s integrity. After the tour, indulge in a tasting of 6 exquisite wines, including Romania’s signature Fetească Neagră, paired with a selection of premium cheeses and charcuterie. This will offer a full sensory experience that highlights the region’s rich flavors, all set against the backdrop of stunning vineyard-covered hills that stretch endlessly around the estate.
