Dealu Mare Wine Days — a 3-day weekend in Dealu Mare (Muntenia)

The weekend, day by day

1. Day 1

   Arrive in Dealu Mare

   Land at Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP), 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

   Dealu Mare Wine Days

   Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. 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.

3. Day 3

   Wine country day in Dealu Mare (Muntenia)

   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.
