Wine Trail Itineraries and Wish lists for Romania


Wish Lists
1 Azuga - Rhein Cellars, 
Stop in the town of Azuga for lunch and wine tasting at Rhein Cellars.

2 Danube Delta: Sarica Niculitel vineyards; Murfatlar vineyards.
East of Bucharest, on the Black Sea:

Sarica Niculitel vineyards
Try local wines such as Aligote, Feteasca Regala and Pinot Noir. (Noir is French for black. I know aligote as the rough, dry wine sweetened with blackcurrant juice to make kir in France. I visited the cassis factory. I remember the overwhelming aroma of alcoholic blackcurrant, which the French call creme de cassis.)


Murfatlar vineyards
Try a selection of wines: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Muscat Ottonel.

Iasi
Fly to Iasi from Bucharest  or take the express train and rent a car. Drive to the old Cotnari vineyards. Take a wine tasting tour and sample some of Romania's sweet white wines: Grasa de Cotnari, Feteasca Alba and Tamaioasa.
