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.
