A private 9-hour day trip from Bucharest to the Unirea salt mine, Casa Seciu winery lunch, and Snagov’s Dracula-linked monastery.
“Back to back to back awesome tours with Sebastian and he knows his stuff. Every bit of history, he knows it. Very informative. We hit the Salina Salt Mine, unbelievable, the Casa Timis winery and vineyard, exquisite, the mysterious and surreal lakeside Mogosoia Palace, topped off with the Peles Castle, and the fall foliage leaves made for off the charts leaf peeping as a bonus. An unbelievable two days.”
Half-day private food and wine walk in Oradea with 15 tastes, 6 wines, 4 beers, and fortress sights.
“Calin is an excellent tour guide. He takes his time to share his historical knowledge, and by explaining the differences between traditional Romanian and Hungarian foods. The special plates are prepared up front, so no waiting. Nice to learn about the local wine history and even better to taste the differences. If you’re in Oradea, this is a must see.”
Private Romanian wine tasting at Abel’s Wine Bar in Bucharest, with 5 wines, cheese and meat pairing, guided in English for 2 hours.

Two winery stops from Bucharest, tasting 10+ Romanian wines with an English-speaking sommelier, plus scenic sub-Carpathian countryside.
“the guide did not manage time between vineyards well, actual wine tasting was shorter than the sommelier history on the vineyard. Because of this poor management lunch was skipped and the guide had a verbal disagreement with the second vineyard sommelier, yet the second vineyard had better time management between the history and the wine tasting”
Day trip from Iasi to Chisinau and Cricova Winery, with Capriana Monastery, Soviet city sights, underground wine cellars, and tasting included.
“Our guide made this trip a winner. He was very personable and a library of knowledge. He answered ALL our questions and accommodated us by taking us to a place we asked to see in Chisinau and to a souvenir store. I suggest you do your research as there are not many tourist attractions in Chisinau. The winery tour, provided by the winery, was nice and we learned a lot.”
Private 5-hour Bucharest tour: Village Museum cottages, handmade crafts, and Dealu Mare wine tasting with hotel pickup.
“Best trip ever. FANTASTIC guide!!!! He had us captivated with his wonderful story telling about History & himself. Excellent museum & fantastic wine tasting with local cheese & sausages. We did not want the day to end!!! Value for money!!!~”
Unirea Salt Mine, Casa Seciu winery lunch, and Vlad’s legend at Snagov Monastery on a small-group Bucharest day trip.
“Laura was just the best guide and we had a very enjoyable day away from the crowds. Salt mines were interesting and casual, lunch was fantastic and the monastery one of the highlights on the visit to Romania. Laura gave great details and history, was flexible on timing for our small group (5 ppl).”
Bike through Dealu Mare vineyards from Bucharest, taste boutique wines with snacks, and tour Conacul Bellu in a small group.
“We had an excellent experience on this tour with Oana! She picked us up on time in clean and safe transport to take us to Dealu Mare. The bikes were great quality and the route boasted magnificent views before the main events - wine tasting! We visited two vineyards where we were greeted by friendly hosts, tours of the facilities, plenty of nibbles, and superb selection of wines! Certainly not shy with the pours either! Highly recommended tour!”
Bucharest Romanian wine and food pairing: taste 5 wines with cheese, salami, spreads and zacuscă in Old Town over 2 hours.
“I paid for the wine and food pairing but only received some cubes of cheese with crackers and no other food to pair with the wines. I didn't receive anything with the first wine so asked the sommelier about the pairings and he said he would bring the snacks later so they would last for all of the wines. As he brought the second wine he brought the cheese and crackers. That was the only food I received, not what was advertised when I booked it. I believe I got the experience that I would have received if I'd just booked the wine tasting rather than the food pairing experience…”
Taste five Romanian wines in Abel’s Wine Bar, with cheese and charcuterie, English guidance, and discounts on bottles you want to take home.
“We had an amazing time! The wines were great and the snacks were perfect! Paolo from Abel's Wine Bar was very knowledgeable about all the wines. He was also very accommodating. He switched out a red for another white for me since I'm not really a fan of reds. This long wine tasting is definitely worth it!”
Taste 5 Romanian wines in Brasov’s historic center, paired with meats and cheeses at Via Enescu. 2 hours, $69 per person.
“¡Gran experiencia! Nuestro sommelier nos dio una explicación detallada sobre los vinos y su fabricación, además de ser muy amable y carismático. El plato de queso y carnes frías delicioso, complementó perfecto los vinos. Además, el restaurante es muy bonito.”
Private 9-hour Bucharest day trip to Unirea Salt Mine, a vineyard cellar lunch, Snagov monastery, and Dracula Grave.
“We had a really great time! Bogdan, my tour guide for that day was perfectly informed about everything and I really enjoyed to explore those new places with so many new information. He is a very kind and funny person, someone I enjoyed being around. The weather was perfect, and I luckily was well dressed, because it was really cold in the salt mine. All in all a great experience and I would love to do it again! So I fully recommend you this Tour accompanied by Bogdan!”
