Crama Ceptura

4.9(118 reviews)CRAMA SERVE, 107125 Ceptura de Jos, România

At Ceptura, in the heart of the Dealu Mare region, the winery bears the name of the village that became synonymous with good wine in Wallachia. On the sunny hills here, with clay-and-limestone soils at the same latitude as Bordeaux, it works both native grapes — Fetească Neagră, Fetească Albă, Tămâioasă — and international ones, in balanced, accessible wines.

Ceptura is one of the most frequent stops on Prahova's "Wine Road", less than two hours from Bucharest: tastings, walks among the vines and often accommodation and dining on site. It's a comfortable, pleasant choice for a weekend escape in the country's most popular red-wine region, and a good one for a first-ever winery visit.

LacertA Winery

LacertA is the boutique winery on the hilltop at Fântânele, in Dealu Mare, where the name (lacerta, the lizard) comes from the creatures that bask among the vines — a sign of a clean, carefully worked vineyard. The Fabian family estate bets on small quantities and attention to detail: Cuvée X, its signature blend, alongside single varietals of Fetească Neagră, Cabernet and aromatic whites. The view from the tasting terrace, with the vines rolling down toward the plain, is among the finest in the region. Visits include a cellar tour, a guided tasting and often lunch with local produce. It's the choice for anyone after an intimate experience, far from the factory-wineries, less than two hours from Bucharest.

Licorna WineHouse

Licorna WineHouse is a young, ambitious winery in Urlați, in Dealu Mare, that quickly caught critics' attention with characterful wines and knowing labels. The range starts from everyday wines and climbs to serious selections of Fetească Neagră, Merlot and fresh whites, cleanly made, with fruit and balance. The estate is modern and built for wine tourism too: tastings in a room overlooking the vines, cellar tours and seasonal events. Its location on the Dealu Mare wine trail makes it easy to combine with neighbours SERVE, LacertA or Basilescu in a single day of tasting. It's a good stop for anyone after honest, friendly wines and a warm welcome, close to Ploiești and the capital.

Vitis Metamorfosis

Vitis Metamorfosis is the winery born from the meeting of Dealu Mare and one of the world's great winemaking families — the **Antinori** Marquesses of Tuscany, with over six centuries of wine history. From this Romanian-Italian partnership, on the hills of Ceptura, come wines of great finesse that blend the native Fetească Neagră with Tuscan know-how, in ranges such as Cantus Primus and Via Marchizului. The result is an elegant, mature style, with fine tannin and serious ageing potential. The estate welcomes visitors for tastings and tours among the vines, in a setting that breathes refinement. It's one of the most interesting addresses in Dealu Mare for anyone who wants to taste what happens when Romanian tradition meets the Italian school of wine.
