Romania is one of Europe’s oldest wine-making countries, yet its wines remain a well-kept secret outside its borders. This tasting is your shortcut to discovering them.

You’ll taste three carefully selected Romanian wines (a white, a rosé and a red), exclusively from local producers. Each wine is paired with a delicious cheese platter, chosen to bring out the best in every glass.

Your host is a sommelier with an exceptional background in the wine world:

Jury member at several international wine competitions, including the prestigious Concours Mondial de Bruxelles
Jury member at several editions of the Best Sommelier of Romania competition
Jury member at the Best Sommelier of Europe contest, held in Sofia, Bulgaria

Member of the Oenological Commission of Legatul de Dobrogea
Member of the European Sommeliers Association.

For each wine, he’ll explain where it comes from, what makes the grape unique and how to taste it like a professional, without any wine jargon. Along the way, he may also share a few stories about Romania’s history and geography: how the hills, rivers and climate shape its wine regions, and how centuries of history left their mark on what ends up in your glass.

The tasting takes place in a cozy, authentic venue in Bucharest, in a relaxed, small-group setting.

Whether you’re new to wine or a seasoned enthusiast, you’ll leave knowing more about Romania, and with a few new favorite wines to look for.
