Begin your day with a private pickup from your hotel in Iasi. As you leave the city behind and head towards the rolling hills of Cotnari, listen to your guide share fascinating stories of Stephen the Great, the medieval ruler who turned this region into a royal vineyard.

Stop at the Historic Cotnari Winery and follow the “Wine Road” from the grape reception area deep into the galleries. The highlight is the “Treasury”—the silent heart of the winery where history is bottled. Here, learn about the iconic ”Grasă de Cotnari”, a wine that has graced royal tables for centuries.

Conclude your visit in the grand tasting hall, where you will enjoy a traditional Moldavian lunch paired with a selection of classic wines. After a short, refreshing walk through the vineyards, transition into the future at the Casa de Vinuri Cotnari.

This modern estate offers a stark and fascinating contrast. In these contemporary cellars, discover the evolution of Moldavian viticulture and get a rare look at the production of premium sparkling wines. This tasting session will allow you to explore the fresh, vibrant notes of modern Romanian winemaking.

After your experience, relax on the comfortable drive back to Iasi, arriving in the afternoon.
