★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 183 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Taste five premium Romanian wines in Bucharest’s Old Town, with local grape stories, generous food pairings, and bottles to take home.

“I was given a warm welcome, then poured a lovely selection of Romanian wines from native grape varieties. It was a great introduction to varieties and regions I previously knew nothing about, but will certainly be looking for in the future! The tasting was two hours, although I'm sure I could have stayed for longer if I had wanted. I was encouraged to take my time trying the generous servings along with a nice selection of cheeses and meats. This is well worth booking if, like me, you love wine but are not familiar with Romanian wines.”

He was so informative and knew everything historical about Romanian, the castles, Bucharest and countryside. His lunch recommendation in Brasov was top notch too! Cristi was an absolute joy to hangout with all day and we felt so lucky to have such an excellent tour guide and all around wonderful person.

Calin was incredibly gracious and made us feel welcome throughout the tour. The pacing was perfect—just the right amount of walking between tastings, allowing us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. While the focus was definitely on the food, he also shared interesting bits of history that enriched the experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Odea’s food…”

9.Romanian Wine and Food Pairing Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 23 reviews · 2 hours · from $62

Taste five Romanian wines with cheeses, salami, zacuscă, and local bread in Bucharest’s Old Town during this cozy two-hour pairing.

“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…”
