Dealu Mare’s Vineyards
After roughly an hour and a half drive from București you arrive amid a patchwork of vineyards on rolling hills—the visual backbone of the experience and the reason Dealu Mare ranks among Romania’s premier wine regions.
Crama 1777: A Museum of Winemaking
The itinerary opens at Crama 1777 on the region’s Wine Road, where the museum collection—viticulture implements, ceramic storage vessels, barrel collections, a tescovina rack, regional folk costumes and local coin finds—traces winemaking practice across the 19th and 20th centuries.
Two Wineries, Side-by-Side Tastings
You visit two hand-picked wineries: the first offers an overview of the site and a tasting of three wines paired with finger food, cheeses, local bread and olive oil; the second features a guided cellar visit and another three wines chosen by a sommelier for comparative tasting.
