Much like Bordeaux or Tuscany, Dealu Mare sits along the 45th parallel, boasting an ideal climate for producing rich, velvety wines, particularly reds.

Pass by without stopping
LacertA Winery
The first stop on your boutique winery tour is Lacerta Winery, renowned for its elegant modern design, state-of-the-art facilities, and top-tier wines. Local experts will lead you through a private tour of the vineyard and wine cellars, where you'll learn about Lacerta's unique winemaking philosophy, from vine to bottle. Despite its modern approach, Lacerta is deeply rooted in tradition, with winemaking techniques that incorporate gravitational principles, minimizing the use of pumps to preserve the wine’s integrity. After the tour, indulge in a tasting of 6 exquisite wines, including Romania’s signature Fetească Neagră, paired with a selection of premium cheeses and charcuterie. This will offer a full sensory experience that highlights the region’s rich flavors, all set against the backdrop of stunning vineyard-covered hills that stretch endlessly around the estate.

Your tour continues with a visit to 1000 Chipuri Winery, a family-owned boutique blending traditional techniques with innovative wine production. Explore the estate, where your guide will share the winery’s philosophy and its dedication to fine wines. Before the second wine-tasting, you can opt for a traditional Romanian lunch, savoring authentic local flavors. The tasting includes six carefully selected wines, paired with cheese, cured meats and dried fruits. You’ll also sample a couple of wines directly from stainless steel tanks, gaining insight into the aging process. Fetească Neagră, a standout Romanian red, is a must-try, alongside Cabernet Franc and Tămâioasă Românească, often compared to dry Muscat. After an unforgettable day of wine tasting and cultural immersion, relax as you return to Bucharest. Your guide will drop you off at your hotel, leaving you with lasting memories of a premium experience in one of Romania’s finest wine regions. In vino veritas!

An Unforgettable Day in Dealu Mare with Unveil Romania
We had an absolutely incredible time on our wine tour to Dealu Mare! From the moment he picked us up, our guide, Mihai, was the epitome of professionalism. His deep knowledge of the region and the winemaking process was impressive, and his friendly, easy-going nature made the entire day feel like we were traveling with an old friend. The wineries selected—Lacerta and 1000 Chipuri—were top-tier. These weren't just simple tastings; they offered a thorough look into the history and production process of Romanian wine. The quality of the wines was exceptional, and we truly appreciated the personalized attention we received at each stop. Beyond the wine, the overall beauty of the Dealu Mare region is stunning—rolling vineyards as far as the eye can see. We visited in April, but it is undoubtedly even more beautiful in the Summer months, when vineyards begin blossoming and the grapes start gradually growing. We also opted for the lunch at the second winery, which was a fantastic addition. It was a high-quality, delicious meal at a very fair price, right in the heart of the winery. Whether you are a seasoned wine aficionado or someone who just enjoys a good glass of wine and great scenery, I would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you, Mihai, for a perfect day!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredible review, Mark! I’m truly glad you enjoyed the entire experience — from the wineries and wines to the landscapes of Dealu Mare. It means a lot to hear that the day felt both informative and relaxed. I have to say, the feeling was mutual — it genuinely felt like spending the day with an old friend, and that kind of connection is what makes these tours so special for me. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation — it really means a great deal. I’m looking forward to staying in touch, and hopefully sharing a coffee next time you’re back in Romania! Warm regards, Mihai Tour Manager & Guide | Unveil Romania

Great Tour on a Rainy Day.
The guide was very knowledgeable about history. I enjoyed speaking with him. The two wineries were hospital. The first one gave the full tour of how they made & bottled. We compared wine that were cask aged vs only bottled. Was able to taste the difference. It was rainy day, but this was a great way to spend it.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the wine tasting experience, even on a rainy day — sometimes the best memories are made when we embrace the weather! It was a pleasure sharing stories and wines with you, and I’m happy you had the chance to taste the difference between oak-aged wines and those matured only in stainless steel. Wishing you both all the best, and if you ever return to Romania, I’d be delighted to welcome you back for another adventure! Warm regards, Mihai Tour Manager & Guide, Unveil Romania

Pleasantly Surprised
Prior to visiting Romania for the first time, my wife and I had no idea that Romania had such a rich and long tradition of wine making. To that end, Mihai, our tour guide, did an outstanding job of introducing us to that tradition by taking us to visit (and sample the wines from) several active Dealu Mare wineries, as well as a fascinating museum located within the grounds of a former estate in the Dealu Mare region. Mihai was punctual, extremely friendly, knowledgeable in many topics wine related and not, and fully conversant in English--all of which made for a great conversation as we drove with him through the Romanian countryside, effortlessly solving all of the world's problems (if only). In sum, we had a great tour of the Dealu Mare wine region and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a personalized introduction to the interesting wines of Romania in the company of a wonderful guide--call us "pleasantly surprised" indeed.

Amazing Tour
This trip was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The wineries we visited were quirky and and full of interesting characters who made us feel very welcome; the wines we sampled were the best we've ever tasted and we even got to sample some at different stages in the fermentation process. We were also given copious amounts of food and even whole bottles of wine surrounded by the most beautiful countryside. So very good value for money considering all we got for it. What's more our host Mihai was incredibly friendly and tailored the experience to make sure we had the best time. He's really knowledgeable when it comes to history. So no need to do an additional walking tour- Mihai will give you that for free while driving around Bucharest and Delu Mare! We'd definitely do this tour again if we came back to Romania.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Bucharest: Private Dealu Mare Wine Tasting Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bucharest.
How much does From Bucharest: Private Dealu Mare Wine Tasting Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $277 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bucharest usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Bucharest: Private Dealu Mare Wine Tasting Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bucharest is not rushed.
Is From Bucharest: Private Dealu Mare Wine Tasting Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bucharest, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Bucharest: Private Dealu Mare Wine Tasting Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Bucharest: Private Dealu Mare Wine Tasting Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Bucharest: Private Dealu Mare Wine Tasting Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bucharest can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bucharest and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Bucharest: Private Dealu Mare Wine Tasting Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bucharest within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bucharest?
+
On Outty we rank every Bucharest experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Real tour of Communism, Bucharest Highlights Walking Tour, Top Gear Road, Small-group max 7 pax with Pick-up, Transfăgărăşan. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bucharest?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bucharest?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
