Prince Stirbey Winery
Located just three hours away from Bucharest, the Stirbey
Winery has been in the family of Prince Stirbey since the
18th century and features a wine cellar built in the 1920s.
In 2001, Romanian Royal Baroness Ileana Kripp-Costinescu
and her German husband reclaimed the property. With
tremendous passion and love for the indigenous grape
varieties and the region’s long-lasting culture of
winemaking, the Baroness renovated the vineyards and
ensured tradition will carry on. If you come here, you can
take a guided tour of the estate. You can taste the Stirbey
family of wines together with a selection of traditional food
while surrounded by stunning views of the Dragasani
vineyards. Don’t leave without trying the aromatic
Tamâioasă Româneasca Dry or the dense yet elegant Negru
de Drăgăsani.
Cotnari Winery
The first historical mentions of the Cotnari vineyard date
back to the 18th century. However, there are reasons to
believe that the vineyard culture around these parts goes
back to the time of Burebista (82-44 BC), the Dacian King
who ordered the burning of all vineyards. One of the main
reasons was that the wine was just too tempting for
invaders who heard about the famous wine – and locals
alike who perhaps drank a tad much. Fortunately, not
everyone obeyed the orders of burning down the vineyards.
To visit the historic Cotnari Winery today, one of the
top Romanian attractions for wine lovers, you’ll have to
travel to Moldova, a region located in the north-eastern
part of Romania.
