Romania in September
Perhaps the best month for a full tour: perfect weather, fewer tourists and the wine-harvest season.
The weather
Warm and mild (16…27°C) — the second-loveliest month.
What September is great for
- The grape harvest and tastings on the Wine Road
- The Grand Tour, in ideal weather
- The last beach days, the sea still warm
Where to go
- →Dealu Mare & the vineyards — wine
- →Transylvania — a loop
What's on
Wine and harvest festivals in the vineyards; autumn festivals.
Ileana's tip
It's the ideal month for the Wine Road — the wineries are in full swing.
