Murfatlar Harvest Festival — a 3-day weekend in Murfatlar

The weekend, day by day

1. Day 1

   Arrive in Murfatlar

   Land at Mihail Kogălniceanu Airport (CND), settle in and walk the old town in the afternoon. Light dinner near your accommodation — save your appetite for the festival day.

2. Day 2

   Murfatlar Harvest Festival

   Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: Murfatlar's maritime Muscat Ottonel has a unique salinity that only appears in September tastings—bottle it cellars' own production before commercial release blurs regional character. Time your visit for Saturday to catch the winemaker tastings before the weekend tourism crowds arrive Sunday.

3. Day 3

   Wine country day in Murfatlar

   Use the third day for a single winery visit (booked ahead) and a long lunch at one of the regional addresses below before heading home.
