ROMANIA

With a wine-making tradition going back millennia, Romania offers its visitors the chance to sample and explore a large diversity of wine-making regions, each with its unique microclimate, soil type, and traditions, which all help give Romanian wines their unmistakable magic!

From the sunny plateaus of Dobrogea to the rolling hills of Moldova, from the Transylvanian sub-Carpathian slopes to the dry lowlands of Oltenia, you will taste some of the world’s best wines and meet great people who have preserved and embraced their heritage like in no other place, meet the Romanians who still squash the grapes with their bare feet, in a country where most rural households still have their own vineyard, and where wine-making is still a family affair!

From ancient times till present, discover the grape varieties that will delight your senses. The reds in particular showcase a wide range of winemaking styles focused on structure and ageability – but a rich fruit core is always preserved.

Andrew Walker of Solaris Wines, an expert on Romanian and Slovenian wines will be co-presenting this most fabulous tasting, alongside our own wine expert, Cecile Bergart of the Hampshire Wine School. Wines tasted on the night will be available to buy in the UK via Andrew.
