Drăgășani Wine & Harvest Festival — a 3-day weekend in Drăgășani (Oltenia)

The weekend, day by day

1. Day 1

   Arrive in Drăgășani

   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

   Drăgășani Wine & Harvest Festival

   Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: The Negru de Drăgășani rarely travels internationally—this is your only reliable chance to taste multiple producers' interpretations back-to-back and understand why locals consider it their terroir signature. Arrive Saturday evening for the smaller Friday-night tastings where winemakers actually stand still long enough to discuss their soil.

3. Day 3

   Wine country day in Drăgășani (Oltenia)

   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.
