Podgoria Drăgășani

4.7(151 reviews)Strada Avram Iancu 181, DN67B, 245700 Drăgășani, România

The Drăgășani wine region, spread across the hills on the right bank of the Olt in the south of Vâlcea County, is one of Romania's oldest and most respected viticultural areas. Vines have been cultivated here for more than two millennia, since the time of the Dacians and Roman colonists, and the tradition has been carried on without interruption across the centuries. Sandy soils and the sunny exposure of the slopes have favoured the development of valuable native varieties, such as the selected Crâmpoșie, alongside international grapes well adapted to the local terroir.

Today the region brings together modern wineries and family estates producing aromatic white wines and reds of character, many of them awarded at specialist competitions. The rolling landscape, with rows of vines descending toward the meadow, offers walks and tastings in picturesque settings. For visitors drawn to wine tourism, Drăgășani is a rising destination where a millennia-old tradition intertwines with the ambition of a new generation of growers.

Winery

Crama Iordache

Crama Iordache is a small family winery in the Drăgășani region, part of the new wave that brought Oltenia's native grapes back into focus. It works small quantities, with an emphasis on authenticity and the expression of place: Crâmpoșie Selecționată, Negru de Drăgășani, Novac and fresh whites, in honest wines with character. Without fuss and without loud marketing, the winery earned its regard through what's in the glass. On the hills of the Olt's right bank, in an area where every small winery has its own story, a visit here means a warm welcome, a relaxed tasting and direct contact with the people who make the wine. It's the kind of stop that appeals to those after the authentic, far from the crowded circuits.

Church

Biserica Sfântul Nicolae Drăgășani

The Church of Saint Nicholas in Dragasani is a traditional Orthodox place of worship in the heart of the Oltenia wine country, a spiritual landmark for the local community across several generations. Built in the style typical of southern Romanian town churches, it combines a nave-based plan with towers rising above the porch and naos, while the interior preserves wall paintings and icons depicting biblical scenes and the faces of saints. The feast of Saint Nicholas, protector of the poor and of travellers, is marked each year with a service attended by the faithful of the area. Set in a town famous for its wines, the church makes a fitting stop for those exploring Dragasani and the surrounding vineyard hills. Visitors are asked to respect the quiet and the schedule of services when they enter.

Winery

Crama Prince Ştirbey

Crama Prince Ştirbey is the most historic address at Drăgășani — the estate of the princely Știrbey family, which has made wine here for over a century and was the world's first bottler of Crâmpoșie Selecționată. Today, under the care of the Kripp-Costinescu family, the winery is a benchmark of authenticity: native grapes worked with respect — Crâmpoșie, Novac, Negru de Drăgășani, dry Tămâioasă — in wines without artifice that express terroir above fashion. The Genius Loci range gathers the estate's peaks. Visits include tours of the historic cellars and tastings in the manor, in an atmosphere blending old nobility with modern winemaking. It's the heartfelt stop for anyone who wants to taste the revival of Oltenian wine at its source.
