Why you'll love this trip
Authentic encounters, not just sightseeing – Instead of simply ticking landmarks off a list, you’ll step into Romania’s rhythm. Guided walks through Bucharest’s old streets reveal stories that don’t appear in guidebooks, and tastings in family-owned wineries introduce you to passionate winemakers who carry generations of tradition in every glass.
Wine and food you’ll remember long after the journey – From velvety reds of Dealu Mare to crisp whites from Mizil, your tastings go beyond the glass. Pair them with seasonal dishes, hearty soups, and freshly baked pastries, and you’ll savour the real flavours of Romania, shaped by its seasons and culture.
Comfort without compromise – Stay in handpicked boutique hotels in central Bucharest, where local charm meets modern comfort. Private transfers remove the hassle of logistics, so your time is spent enjoying, not organising.
The best of both worlds – This escape is designed to balance highlights with hidden corners. Yes, you’ll see iconic sites like the Palace of Parliament and Bucharest’s vibrant Old Town — but you’ll also explore wine cellars in Mizil, quiet neighbourhoods, and authentic cultural experiences larger groups often miss.
Expert guidance with a personal touch – Your local guide isn’t just a narrator; they’re a storyteller, cultural bridge, and insider who opens doors you wouldn’t even know to knock on. Whether it’s explaining Romania’s history or sharing where to find the best street pastry, you’ll feel looked after in every moment.
Travel at your pace – With a relaxed itinerary, free time built in, and no unnecessary rushing, this trip feels refreshing. You’ll return home not only with new knowledge and experiences, but also with the sense that you truly lived Romania for a few days.
