Transylvania Wine Festival — a 3-day weekend in Târnave (Transylvania)

The weekend, day by day

1. Day 1

   Arrive in Sighișoara

   Land at Târgu Mureș Airport (TGM), 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

   Transylvania Wine Festival

   Festival day — arrive early to avoid the lunchtime crowd. Insider tip: Request a tasting pass that includes access to the medieval cellars under Sighișoara's old town—several producers pour limited-production Fetească Regală aged in the 16th-century stone vaults, unavailable anywhere else. Arrive Friday afternoon when sommelier-led masterclasses attract serious collectors and allow for deeper producer conversations.

3. Day 3

   Wine country day in Târnave (Transylvania)

   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.
