The Ultimate Dealu Mare Wine Tasting Tour How to Explore Romania's "Tuscany" Without a Designated Driver

The Ultimate Dealu Mare Wine Tasting Tour

​Nestled along the 45th parallel—the exact same latitude as Bordeaux and Piedmont—lies Dealu Mare, Romania’s premier wine region. Located just 70 to 90 minutes northeast of Bucharest, these rolling, sun-drenched hills produce some of the finest, most velvety reds in Europe.

​Whether you are planning a weekend escape for a group of friends, a corporate team-building event, or a birthday trip for a crew of wine lovers, Dealu Mare offers historic manors, cutting-edge boutique cellars, and world-class tastings.
​However, the classic dilemma of any great wine tour remains: Who is going to be the designated driver?
​With XPR Tours & Shuttles by minibusrent.ro, no one gets left out of the fun. You can rent a luxury Mercedes-Benz minibus or minivan with a professional driver directly from Bucharest, keeping your entire group together, safe, and comfortable from the moment you leave your doorstep to your return home.

Must-Visit Wineries in Dealu Mare
​When crafting your custom itinerary with XPR Tours & Shuttles, consider combining large, modern estates with charming, historic boutique cellars.

Here are top recommendations:
​Lacerta Winery (Fintesti): Famous for its stunning architectural tasting room perched over the vines and its gravity-fed winemaking process. A must-visit for sampling rich Fetească Neagră and barrel-aged Cabernets.

​Crama De Piatră (Vadu Săpat): Housed in a beautifully restored 1912 stone manor, this boutique estate offers incredible local cuisine alongside small-batch, artisanal wines.

​1000 Chipuri / Casa Colinelor (Urlați): A family-owned gem celebrated for its passion, unpretentious charm, and excellent wine-and-cheese pairings overlooking the rolling hills.

​Crama Apogeum: Set in a former Royal Palace, where winemakers revive ancient techniques using ceramic amphorae to craft iconic, award-winning reds.

​Why Choose XPR Tours & Shuttles for Your Wine Tour?

​Navigating narrow countryside roads or arranging multiple rideshares between secluded vineyards can quickly turn a relaxing day into a logistical nightmare. Renting a private minibus or minivan with a dedicated driver through minibusrent.ro offers distinct advantages:
​Door-to-Door Service: Your professional driver picks up your entire group at your Bucharest hotel, office, or private address and drops you back safely at the end of the day.
​Travel Together in Comfort: Skip splitting up into separate taxis. Enjoy climate control, spacious leather seating, and plenty of luggage space to store all the wine bottles you pick up along the way.
​Complete Flexibility: You set the schedule. Spend as long as you like at lunch, add a spontaneous stop at a scenic viewpoint, or visit three distinct cellars at your own pace.
​Zero Stress, Total Safety: Sip every vintage with total peace of mind, knowing your dedicated driver handles the driving, navigation, and weekend traffic.
