Insider tip
Call ahead to SERVE and Budureasca for private vertical tastings rather than joining open cellars—these producers reserve 3-4 older vintages for dedicated appointments that beat the standard pour. The back roads between Ceptura and Băicești cellars hide microproducers like Château Vartely offshoots that rarely attend organized events.
