Food and wine tour Romania - 5 days

Welcome to Bucharest

Before exploring and tasting Romania, meet first its capital and the largest city in the country: Bucharest. Your guide will pick you up from the airport and transfer you to your hotel.

You can spend the afternoon getting some rest at your hotel. You will have free time for dinner.

Or as soon as you arrive, you can take a walk through the old city centre and maybe enjoy a first wine tasting in Bucharest – we know a good bar for that to recommend you!

Accommodation: Hotel in Bucharest

Day 1

Traditional food in Bucharest

On the second day in Romania, you will taste the traditional food in Bucharest and you will visit some of the attractions in the city.

After a delicious breakfast at the hotel, it’s time to enjoy a panoramic tour of the city. Your guide will show you from the car the main landmarks in the Romanian capital, telling you their history. If you want to stop by, just tell him and he will find a suitable place for you to take great pictures.

The first important stop on your route will be at the Village Museum in Bucharest. Inside you can see traditional houses from various parts of the country and you can discover local traditions and objects. The Village Museum is an open-air museum, so a walk here is sure to whet your appetite.

At lunch you will go to a traditional restaurant in Bucharest, where you can try Romanian dishes and desserts: sarmale, mici, polenta with cheese and of course, do not forget the papanasi for dessert!

After such a meal you can’t help but feel full, so a walk is welcome. On a guided walking tour, you will discover the main sights of the old town.

At dinner, you will go to another Romanian restaurant and you can continue with a wine tasting session at one of the wine bars in Bucharest.

Accommodation: Hotel in Bucharest

Day 2

Castles and sparkling wine tasting in Romania

Leave Bucharest behind because today you will move to one of the most famous provinces in Romania: Transylvania.

After a journey of about 2 hours, you will stop in Sinaia to visit the beautiful Peles Castle. Built at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, in a dream landscape, the castle was the summer residence of the Romanian royal family. After a tour inside, you will discover why it is considered one of the most beautiful castles in Europe.

At lunch, you will stop at another Azuga mountain resort, at one of the few sparkling wine cellars in Romania. Here you will enjoy a hearty lunch and a wine tasting session. Dealu Mare is the region from which the grapes used for the production of sparkling wine are harvested.

In the afternoon, you will visit another famous castle: Bran Castle. Known for his connection to the bloodthirsty vampire, Count Dracula, Bran Castle attracts a large number of visitors each year. A guided tour inside will reveal the true history of the castle and the legends that circulate around it.

In the evening you will arrive in Brasov, a beautiful medieval city located at the foot of the mountains. For dinner, the guide will take you to one of the traditional restaurants in Brasov where you can try other Romanian dishes: jumari, sour soups and delicious desserts.

Accommodation: hotel in Brasov

Day 3

Romania wineries in Dealu Mare

I think almost all the Romania wine trips include a visit to the wineries in Dealu Mare, one of the best wine regions in Romania.

After breakfast, it’s time to hit the road again. Your first stop from Brasov to Bucharest will be in Slanic Prahova where you will visit the largest salt mine in Southeast Europe: Unirea salt mine. An underground descent will take your breath away when you see what is hidden under the ground.

Then you will go on to the wine region that produces the well-known Romanian red wine Feteasca Neagra. Although Feteasca neagra is produced in several areas of Romania, in Dealu Mare you will have the opportunity to taste it leisurely.

A stop at the Lacerta winery will allow you to try also a Romanian white wine next to which you will serve a plate of cheese.

Your wine tour in Romania will end where it started: in Bucharest, where the guide will drop you off at the hotel.

The best time to visit Romania to see the ripe grapes is September.

Accommodation: Hotel in Bucharest

 

If you have only a day available, book our Lacerta winery, Bellu manor and the Thracian Necropolis day trip from Bucharest and visit the Dealu Mare region.

Day 4

Private transfer to the airport

Unfortunately, every delicious experience has an end. Today is the end of your wine tour in Romania. You could try some of the well-known Romanian wines and get an idea about Romanian food. Now is the time to pack. Your guide will transfer you to the airport in time for your flight back home.

 

Or you can extend your holiday with a UNESCO heritage tour.

Unfortunately, there are one day trips to Danube Delta from Bucharest, but they are done by speed boat, so they ruin the environment.

Before showing you how you can spend 12 days in Romania, let’s answer some questions. These are questions that you may have before any self-drive trip in Romania.

    Driving in Romania

    Is it safe to drive through Romania?

    Romania is unfortunately in the last places in the EU in terms of road accidents and the victims resulting from them. But if you follow the traffic rules, driving in Romania becomes a safe and even a pleasant experience. Once you get behind the wheel, it is important to respect the speed limits. It is also mandatory to use a seat belt and a child seat for smaller passengers. Do not drive under the influence of alcohol and do not use your mobile phone while driving. The legislation has zero-tolerance for alcohol consumption when driving. Also, pay attention to pedestrians, animals, cyclists and horse-drawn carriages. They could be traveling on the same road as motor vehicles, especially in rural areas.

    Does Romania have good roads?

    Romania has a total of almost 90,000 km of roads divided into national roads, county roads and communal roads. Highways (just under 1000 km in total) are part of national roads. Therefore, a road trip in Romania can take longer than one in countries with several highways. National roads and most county roads are in good condition, with a few exceptions. That is why it is important to plan your trip according to the road restrictions, the condition of the roads and the congested areas. Some national roads become extremely crowded because they connect the important cities of Romania, but you can avoid congestion if you know when to pass by there.

    Do you have to wear a seatbelt in Romania?

    The seat belt must be worn in Romania by all passengers of a car. Driving a car without wearing a seat belt is categorised as a class I fine and is punishable by a fine and penalty points. Passengers in a vehicle can also receive the same penalty if they do not wear a seat belt. Exceptions to this rule are only pregnant women and people with a medical certificate that exempts them from wearing a seat belt.

    What is the speed limit in Romania?

    Speed limits are indicated in kilometres per hour. The other road signs including distance are indicated using meters or kilometres because Romania uses the metric system. The speed limits in Romania are: 50 km/h – inside the cities or villages (unless the road signs mention something else) 130 km/h – on the motorway 100 km/h – on express, national and European roads 90 km/h – on the other categories of roads, outside the built-up areas

    Which side of the road does Romania drive on?

    Although there are states and regions where you drive on the left side of the road, accounting for about 35% of the world’s population, in Romania you drive on the right side, as in most areas.

    Can foreigners drive in Romania?

    If they are staying for a maximum of 90 days in the country, foreigners can drive in Romania with any international driving license. Not all national driver’s licenses are accepted. For example, U.S. citizens who wish to drive in Romania must have an International Driving Permit in addition to a valid U.S. state drivers’ license.

    How easy is it to travel around Romania?

    For public transport, Romania has trains and buses. The main cities of the country are well connected, but sometimes the public transport schedule won’t allow you to see as many things as you could by driving. Also, the rural areas are not so well connected, so it is harder to visit the attractions located outside the city without a car. But a good itinerary, excellent planning and a car rental can ensure you the best way to travel around Romania.
