Transilvanyan Wines

, Romania

6 Day wine tour from Cluj Napoca to Cluj Napoca

Introduction

For the respect for wine lovers, old and young Romanian wineries opened their gates and souls. Long before the Roman conquest, Dacia was already a vineyard land. Romania can look back on a long history of winemaking. Already Homer and Herodotus wrote of Thracian wines. The ancestors of the Romanian people, the Dacians, were great agriculturists who cultivated the grape vine and also made wine, a fact mentioned by ancient Greek and even Roman historians.

Among them the new comers are small wineries, around 30 hectares, with wine cellars provided with modern technological equipment for the sake of quality, picking the grapes by hand, extreme attention to details, terroir and grape personality. You may find   premium wines, ancient Romanian grape varieties, European classics and state-of-the-art wine cellars in beautifully designed buildings, perfect for wine travel. 

The tour combines the main theme of wines with some interesting tourist attractions on the route like Karoly Castle, Merry Cemetery of Sapanta, wooden churches of Ieud and Barsana in Maramures, medieval town of Bistrita, less known but equally beautiful town of Targu Mures, St. Michael Cathedral in Cluj.

Period of validity: 18th of June – 31st of October 2018/2019 for groups of 10-14 guests
