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.
