Crama Budureasca

Crama Budureasca sits on one of the country's oldest winegrowing sites — the Valley of the Fairies in Dealu Mare, where wine was made as far back as Roman times, as the remains found on the estate show. Today it's a modern, high-capacity winery with state-of-the-art technology but deep roots: the Origini, Premium and Noble ranges manage to be both fairly priced and consistently awarded at international competitions.

It works both native grapes — Fetească Neagră, Fetească Albă, Tămâioasă — and international varieties, from Cabernet to Chardonnay. The estate is set up for visitors, with tastings and cellar tours, and its location just over an hour from Bucharest makes it one of the easiest wine escapes in Wallachia.
